venice
this is where we started our lovely trip in italy.

venice in ten:
1.arrived and got completely lost; two hours lost.
2.first on the itinerary: straight to st. mark's square.
3.oredered our first margarita pizza and bought a painting from a local.
4.took a long nap. trust me, it was needed. 
5.first "real" italian dinner: 
i ordered the traditional pasta with mushrooms. lovebird ordered an italian steak. 
6.onto our first taste of authentic gelato! {grom}
7.enjoyed a {very} romantic stroll along the canals.
8.breakfast at the hotel while chatting with sweet english women.
9.last stop: the famous rialto bridge.
10.a gorgeous city; 
the atmosphere was so italian and nearly impossible to put into words. 
{the humidity was a little much, i'll admit that.}

  17. venice was one of my favorite cities to visit in italy. it is such a unique city but it sucks when it rains and the bridge connecting venice to the rest of italy is shut down. long story about that one but still had a great time visiting
