That is so awesome! What a fun city to stroll through. I love Venice. Everything about it seemed romantic to me. I lived about an hour west of there, outside of Padua for a short time. I was still in my 20's and it was such a great springboard for Europe.
I think all young people should travel, if just for a short while before they settle down into life. The different cultures, just by crossing over the borders is amazing. I love the people and they welcome you with open arms to have a cappuccino with them or something to eat! It is so heart-warming to travel and discover the world.
I did ride a gondola, with the gondolier singing, and this time I had three kids with me~!! It was still so romantic!!! I swear to it! Your pictures are awesome and even though to some, it is a crumbling nightmare, I love it there. Truly, I do.
Wonderful post!
