Italy: Day 12- Giardini della Biennale & the Arsonale

Dick and I had noted earlier that we hadn't seen many green spaces in any of three Italian cities that we've visited. Today, we took the vaporetto to the Sant Elena station which brought us right to the Giardini della Biennale. It was nice to be amongst the trees and away from the hustle and bustle. It was also quiet. :)

We weren't very far from our hotel, but we decided to do a little more exploring before heading back. We came across the Arsenale, which was Venice's shipyards. In its day, with its innovative assembly line, the Arsenale could construct a galley in a matter of hours.
