Venice!

Ahh Venice, probably my favorite place in all of Italy.

Does that have something to do with the fact that I've lived on a lake every summer of my life since birth...maybe.

Could it have to do with the fact that their only mode of transportation is boats...probably.
Might it be that they have the best pizza in all of Italy...sure.

I think it has to do with cannolis personally. But really, I loved Venice. Even though the weather was not my favorite, I still loved how beautiful Venice was and the gondolas and the boats for cars. Also all of the vines growing over the buildings. And the gondola guys all wear striped shirts with red lined straw hats. It's just great. And a taxi is a wooden boat, how awesome!
We did go the cheap route and therefore had to take a 3 hour bus to get to Venice but along the way we watched "Under the Tuscan Sun" because Casanova was checked out. I've never watched that movie in full, and maybe since I've been to Tuscany I appreciate it more but I really liked that movie. Might be one of my new favorites but again that could be because I'm living in Tuscany.
Once we arrived, we took the town "bus" which is really a large barge type boat to the center of town. I just love being on the water, and all of the buildings surrounding were so great. When we got there we saw a glass blowing demonstration and it was really fast surprisingly. He made a water pitcher and it was so pretty. Then we were on our own for lunch and wandering around. I went down by the water (of course) and snuck onto a few docks to look out at the islands across the bay and the gondolas floating by. Even though it was foggy, it was still a pretty sight, I think that if the sun was out, I would've never left.
Next, we toured around the city, which was really boring because Venice doesn't have anything special in the city, the charm is on the water. So I got bored with that fast. We then had free time again to wander around and get some food before we had to head back. I again went straight to the ledge and took pictures of the city at night. We also got to go on a short gondola ride! Our boat driver was pretty cute and it was more of a gondola taxi. There were about 10 other people on the ride with Kaitlyn and I but it was still cool to get to ride one :). It's so gorgeous at night with all the lights and only the gondolas are streaming by. I can see why a lot of couples would visit Venice. It is very romantic.
