Venice!

A view of one of the canals. Just beautiful.

One of the ubiquitous gondoliers. We did not take a gondola ride because it was a bit on the expensive side--100 Euros for a half hour. And that was standard. We asked around.

A dusk view of the Bridge of Sighs. This bridge was built in the 16th century and the view from it was the last criminals were granted before they were imprisoned. According to Wikipedia, it got its name from Lord Byron in the 19th century, who thought that prisoners would sigh at the beautiful view of Venice.

A "parking lot" outside our hotel. In the background, a city bus goes by.

A beautiful street view.
