This was on Monday, July 16th. Again...most of Italy is closed on Monday, however Venice is always open!! :) Considering that most its economy is reliant on tourists, it can't close on Mondays. We didn't plan to visit Venice on this trip however we figured out after learning how easy train travel is, that it was only going to be a 2.5 hour train ride from Milan to Venice and the cost wasn't too bad either. This was my 3rd visit to Venice. I have only been to Europe three times and EVERY time I end up in London, Paris, and Venice...maybe next time I'll skip the later two. London is my favorite, I'll be back there for sure!!
This was a legitimate walk way. As you can see John is almost too tall to walk through there.
The streets really are water...and there are many of them. John's comment was, "The streets really are water it isn't just unicorn talk." I think he figured that there was one main water street and the rest was just normal city life. NOT TRUE!! There are many of these narrow waterways all over the city.
Here is the famous Ponte di Rialto over the Grand Canal.
This picture is attempting the show the mosaic work on Saint Mark's Basilica.
Another one of the narrow waterways.
