Venice

Venice: Oh, so beautiful!  Our favorite spot.  It's amazing - you step off the train and expect to see taxis, buses, streets, craziness.  Instead, you get water taxis, pigeons, and canals with color splashed buildings in the background.  It was just lovely.  We stayed at the beautiful Hilton Hotel there - where we watched cruise boats sail past our balcony 50 yards away.  Just amazing.  

We took a quick trip to Murano - an island that makes Venetian glass.

My sad face, looking at the $4000 Gucci Bag.

This is what I mean by a "city of canals" - NO streets, just waterways!

This was the view from our room - a cruise ship is passing by!
