I loved Venice, it is unlike any place I have ever seen. I even got into shopping here, fell in love with the glass!

Me on a bridge over one of the canals.

The bridge of sighs was the bridge prisoners would cross over into the prison.  It was the last glimps of the outdoors many of them would ever see again and they would pause on the bridge and sigh befor going to the cells where they would most likely die.

Is he cute or what?  Very nice and well you know.....very nice.

I also loved the masks, I bought a couple, not all of them for me.  The mask and glass shops were great to window shop, never thought i would EVER utter that phrase.

You would not believe some of things they can do with glass.  Some like this were a bit gaudy but still in person they were amazing.

I liked the guitars. I don't know why you would have one but they were kinda cool.

If you go to the hospital by ambulance here , you go by boat.  There are narrow sidewalks everywhere but everything else is by boat.It's a city that shows it's age but still so beautiful.

Twice that day we were in a boat and twice we almost wrecked into another boat.  On this ride Tomas saved us from a speed boat that lost power and was a little out of control.

Here is where I ate my special florence steak, and was really good.  We also had tampura pumkin blossoms also really good. They were friendly folks and made us feel very welcome and brought us stuff to taste and considering we had just hopped off a train and it was kinda late this place was truely a find.
