VENICE, Italy – We woke up in Milan, had breakfast, loaded the buses, and made our way east to Mestre, just outside Venice. On the way, we stopped for lunch near Verona. When we arrived, the teams enjoyed an evening to explore the city or go to dinner with family and friends who are with us on the trip.
It's hard to believe, but tomorrow's our last day in Italy. While today was a low-key travel day, we've got one more busy one to go. We'll spend the day Thursday in Venice exploring the unique city and enjoying a gondola ride through the lagoon. More to come!
