I went on a cruise with some friends from work and we started and ended the trip in Venice.  Venice was one of the most beautiful, magical places I've ever been!  The entire city is on water and boats are the only way to get around.  The city is not exactly luggage or wheelchair friendly with all the bridges and little alleyways.  I'm usually pretty good about finding my way around a city but even with a map, I kept getting lost. 

San Marco

Rialto Bridge

I did get a gondola ride too! 

I'm ready to go back for Carnivale in February so I can wear the mask I bought!
