Venice, Italy

I've always wanted to visit Venice. The city streets in Venice are water! You ride on gondolas and water buses to get around. It was my desire to see Venice that really got the ball rolling for our trip to Europe.

Piazza San Marco

Looking out towards the Venice lagoon.  The Doge's Palace is on the left.

Looking out at the Venice lagoon from the Bridge of Sighs.  Prisoners to be would pause while crossing from the Palace to the prison would let out a sigh as they viewed the Venice lagoon.

I'm gonna bust out of this joint.

Where ever we travel, we never miss out on sampling the local cuisine.
