Major flooding!

A picture to give you some perspective on the flooding.























Bridge of Sigh's (because you could hear the sighs of the prisoners going to jail in the Doge's Palace.


Gondola ride!!


Our cute driver!!


Where Mozart lived when he was in Venice. (the view from the gondola ride)

So, those are the best pictures of our time in Venice. Hope you like them. It was really so beautiful there and unlike anywhere else I had been before. The entire city is literally in water. It is pretty mind-blowing. How did they build the buildings? Where does the plumbing go? These are some of the many things we pondered while walking through the beautiful streets.

Next up: Florence and Rome, so stay tuned!
