A postcard Claudia sent her family from Venice, Italy, on Friday, March 26, 1971.
This is Venice—with lots of jolly canals and water and boats and everything! We took a boat down the Grand Canal to our hotel yesterday and last night a guide took us on a walking tour of the city. Venice is actually 117 small islands connected by 450 bridges—so you can walk anywhere in Venice and that’s what we did! We just bipped all over—through narrow winding allies and over bridges and all sorts of fun things!
The Italian Navy is here and that’s a real experience—all the cafes and bars were on strike last night and those sailors didn’t know what to do with themselves. We kept to big bunches with the priesthood handy, so they didn’t give us any trouble.
The ride through the Italian Alps was really beautiful! You’ve never seen such majestic mountains, rugged and all covered with snow!! Oh it was joyful!! Today we’re on our way to Florence (that’s where they filmed Romeo and Juliet).
