A River Runs Through It...or two or three...

We were told by many people that Venice is a city in Europe not to be missed. It is unlike any place you will ever see. The crumbling brick and peeling paint is something most locals find to be a drawback about the city, but as a visitor these things give it so much character. The maze of canals running through the city are so unique and create such beautiful photographs! (Jill, we couldn't help but think what an amazing place this would be for you to visit. You and your camera would LOVE this city!)
We ate pizza, pizza, and more pizza. You can buy what they call "draught wine" at the restaurants for a few Euros per litre!
This is a city in which to almost completely ditch the map, head out into the labyrinth of streets and just get lost. And get lost we did. Many times. Per hour.
