Venice

We woke up early to beat the crowds in Venice.  

Rialto Bridge

San Marcos Cathedral

We toured Doge's Palace

time card slots for workers

Jail cells inside the palace

Bridge of Sighs, connecting the palace to the prison

My favorite sculpture

Lots of amazing photo opts in Venice

In the market square, husking artichokes

a little taxi boat ride.  Thanks to Rick Steves, his app he had an hour long tour you could take while on the water taxi explaining the city as we floated along

Bell tower, San Marcos Square and Doge's Palace

We crossed the river and went to the top of the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore looking over all of Venice

Back to Venice to take a food tour

love these drinking fountains

We ended our 3 hour food tour with Gelato and the place where they make the Gondolas 

It was hard to leave, we walked around the city, outskirts, for 14 hours
