Venice - Oct 11

A magical place! I fell in love...
A wonderful maze of winding cobblestone streets and alleys, shops of all kinds selling goods to the many visitors. Arching footbridges reach over a thousand canals plyed endlessly by gondolas and local transport. Colors, water, architecture, smiling faces, people everywhere... Venice is a romantic spot.


Sometimes you gotta just jump in with the locals. I prefer the point-and-nod method, seeing as my Italian is, well... I don't speak Italian. But the croissants are fabulous, as are the calzones.



St Mark's Square, above. I was very excited when I realized that the opening scenes from The Italian Job were filmed right here


What a place... I'll be back, I promise.
