Day 32: On the water in Venice

Today was a magical day in Venice.  We decided to just walk and go where our instincts took us.  We found a small gondola stop and decided why not? The 30 minute ride was a blast--and very beautiful.





When we got off we wandered back to Rialto Bridge and found a spot for a snack right underneath the bridge  (literally).




Great views from our table!


After lunch we took a water taxi for a 45 ride around Venice.  Stunning city.


No Mafia--Venice is sacred.



Love these old chimneys.




After our boat ride we wandered over to Teatro La Fenice (the opera house) to get tickets for a chamber concert later in the week.  There is nothing playing in the opera house while we are here so we took a self guided tour.

There was an exhibit that was a tribute to Maria Callas.  We ended the day with a dinner right next to the opera house.



The views walking back 5 minutes to our hotel were spectacular.
