Our wonderful tour guide took us through the Doge’s Palace and St. Mark’s this morning. The rain held off and the sun actually came out in the afternoon which was a pleasant surprise! We were all freezing today. I am not sure what the exact temp was, but it felt like freezing!! Mark and I had the most wonderful lunch and did some shopping by the Rialto Bridge. Other fun things included a gondola ride, learning about the art of glass making and getting lost in the tiny streets and alleys of Venice.

This was taken last night.



I loved these plaques and drawings on the walls.





The Bridge of Sighs



Typical Venice…



Oh my!!
