It has its own vaporetto (the water bus/boat) stop. As does train station. Very easy. Such a lovely way to arrive or leave Venice.

Israelis. Still dreaming of regime change.

I’m blessed to have a tolerant and inclusive shul community. Thanks to a wise rabbi, Modern Orthodox, Berkeley.

Better this than little Marco’s big shoes.
