How To Fall In Love with Venice

With only a short time in Venice, I first went to see the Grand Canal.... a wide canal snakeing through the city.

Street vendors, restaurants, and tourists line either side of the Canal. A bit overwhelming though exciting. 

I was on the lookout for one of the gorgeous boats like used in the Clooney, Amal  wedding last month. Bingo!  Complete with handsome Italian.

another.... a piece of art in itself. 

The best part of Venice is off the Grand Canal to the smaller tributaries entering residential dwellings and small shops. 

and ofcourse... a gondola with young lovers.
