We spent the whole day on Friday in Venice. It was good to spend more than one day in this Italian city that was so different than the other places we had been.
Since the waterways are the roads in Venice, even the garbage has to be taken out by boat.
The fabulous fresco in one of the arches over St. Marc's cathedral.
A view down the canal across several bridges. The closed one on the far end is the bridge of sighs.
Here's an artisan showing us how to blow glass. It was amazing how quickly he was able to make a beautiful vase.
Marc, enjoying a little bit of Germany at a canal-side cafe.
Mary, Marc, Marcus and Ashley post lunch.
I seriously could not take enough pictures of the canals.
Looking across St. Marc's square towards the cathedral. Note the exorbitant number of pigeons.
One last shot of a canal.
