Venice
I just got back from Venice and it was a trip I will always remember. The city is so unique that it is difficult to imagine its splendor and charm if you have never been. The girls and I had breakfast at Café Florian, the first place in Venice to sell coffee back in 1720, (that’s a whole lot of caffeine!) On Saturday we climbed to the top of the bell tower and the view was sensational. Afterwards we headed to the island of Murano where all the Venetian glass is created. There, I saw beautiful glass rings in a store but when I picked it up it shattered on my hand, cutting a few of my fingers, (pictures above for those who like a little gore). The lady in the shop bandaged me up and I went on my way. We went back to Venice and walked to the Rialto Bridge where we all sat down for dinner outside in a small square. After dinner the girls and I left for a nighttime gondola ride down the canal and it was as lovely as it sounds. Our gondolier was such a pleasant man and he whistled and pointed out important buildings as we rode along. It was simply beautiful. We docked and left the gondola with smiles and walked back to St. Marks Square. It was past midnight by this point but we sat in the middle of the square and laid down on the marble stone laughing and sharing stories about how amazing our night in Venice had been.
