Day 4 - Our evening in Venice, Italy

We arrived in beautiful Venice Italy on the evening of our 4th day. I will say, this has been a dream of mine most of my life. I have always wanted to go to Venice. But it was a stark contrast to where we just came from. The pristine villages of the gigantic Alps to the run down (dare I say "dirty), flat lands of this part of Italy and the watery city of Venice. At first, to be honest, I was a little disappointed. But once I spent some time in this historic and truly beautiful city, I saw its charm and fell in love with it!

The Grand Canal...

Our Gondolier helping me on for our romantic ride around the city during the twilight.

The buildings glow in the light of the setting sun.

He didn't speak much English, but he was very nice. He had a very Italian name too, Romano - I think?

The full moon was out and the city was so romantic!

We grabbed a dessert and sat in the central square to listen to some beautiful orchestra music outdoors. What an experience!

Nathan bought me a rose from a peddler and when I protested he said, "Don't you deserve a rose in Venice?" And the dessert I am holding was divine!

Venice at night...magical!
