Fascinating Visit to Venice

As I mentioned, hubby and I had been saving up to visit Italy, and we finally had the time to do it a few weeks ago. We hit several cities, and today I’m sharing some videos and photos from Venice, the most unusual of the cities. Why? Water, water, everywhere. Venice was built on a series of lagoons as a protective measure against attacks, and the main way to get around was by water. When we arrived at the train station, we met our water taxi, and wow. What an experience. The boat was bobbing around, and it was an adventure to get on! The taxi whisked us off to St. Mark’s Square since high tides kept it from delivering us directly to the hotel, although on the way home, the taxi docked right at our place! Today I’m sharing photos from that first arrival and our gondola ride that day! Yes, we had to do it, and it was an experience. Because of the high tides, the gondolier had me regularly move to the front of the boat to help lower it so we could get under several bridges. Human ballast. As you can see, water, water, everywhere. P.S. There’s lots of water on the Jersey Shore and the first book in the At the Shore series, ONE SUMMER NIGHT, is specially priced at 99 cents.
