Well, Aunt Becki and I are back from a wonderful week and a half in the Mediterranean. Here’s the first installment of photos from the city we embarked from, Venice, Italy. We flew into Venice a few days early and tried to see as much of the city as we could in the time that we had. It was amazing. There are no streets and no cars, so to get anywhere you either walk or take a boat. You really feel like you are in a floating city. There’s no other way to describe it. We did a lot of walking and mastered the Vaporetto (public water bus) system. In our 2 days we went sight seeing, had gelato, did some shopping, took a gondola ride (which really enabled us to see the tiny canals that run throughout the city), ate delicious food and traveled to neighboring island, Murano (a glass making community). I would love to go back and explore more of the city someday. On this trip though, after our 2 days we boarded our ship and were off for the first port of call in Croatia.
