Venice
Venice was the most romantic city we visited in Italy. It was 
unlike anything I have ever seen before, absolutely breath taking!!! 
I tried, but these pictures do no justice for the true beauty of the city.



The gondolas were everywhere, making their way in and out of
even the tinniest canals. 



A gondola is a traditional Venetian sculling boat, very ornate and 
beautiful. According to Venetian superstition a couple must kiss 
under every bridge for eternal love.


Piazza San Marco is the heart of the city and includes some of 
Venice's most famous sights. Here we were standing in the court 
yard of Palazzo Dandolo built in 1400AD. The building you see in 
the front is St. Mark's Basilica.



My favorite spot, the Rialto Bridge over looking the Grand Canal. 
This was the busiest spot on the canal, great for people watching. 
The right side of the canal is lined with extravagant restaurants and 
tea rooms where we had our final dinner in Italy. 
I can't wait to go back again!!
