Starting with the beginning:
Dan and I riding on the vaporetto (water bus). We are heading down the Grand Canal to get to our hotel.
Speaking of the Grand Canal, here it is!
View from the window of our hotel room. So crazy that there is water everywhere!
Piazza San Marco. The square was always really crowded, but that adds to the experience.
This is the campanile (bell tower) right outside of St. Mark's Basilica.
St. Mark's Basilica, with the dome and the Doge's Palace.
Some details from St. Mark's Basilica.
Dan standing in the Piazzetta San Marco, looking out onto the water.
There were so many gondolas everywhere. The canals really are their roads; there were traffic jams all over the place.
Me standing on top of a random bridge with tons of gondolas riding the canal underneath me.
The Rialto Bridge, which is the white marble bridge.
Dan standing on the Rialto Bridge, overlooking the Grand Canal.
We saw these enormous meringues and they made us think of Dan's dad, Mitch. I'm sure he would love to eat one of these!
Then we saw this farmer's market on a boat and it made us think of Dan's mom.
The Ponte Accademia, which is the wooden bridge.
Just wandering around and getting lost.
Dan and I stopped in a little shop to buy some lemoncello and wine. As we were walking out with our bottles of alcohol, the man working stopped me and gave me this little gift. As I told you before, Venice was definitely the city of nice old men!
