As soon as we arrived in Venice, our bus dropped us right off at the Gondolas. Our ride through the canals was a highlight of the trip. There was a man singing to us as we sailed through the canals while we enjoyed our Prosecco. If you are looking for the perfect date, try the Gondola ride in Venice!
Isaac had to sit up front by himself...I love this picture of him in thought. If you look beyond him, you will see how we had to go under many bridges on our tour.
Ambulance on water...it caused quite the wake!

Isaac and I as our ride was coming to an end.
After we got off the gondolas, our tour guide took us on a walking tour. The statue above is Venice's mascot.

Santa Maria della Salute
I'm not sure what this building is called...but I enjoyed the details.
Rialto bridge
San Stae
We started the next morning at the glass factory. Venice is known for Murano glass. Apparently, I wasn't supposed to take a picture of this glass horse, but it is so magnificent!
We got to watch a glass blowing demonstration before shopping.
Close to the final product...he made it look so easy!

This picture pretty much explains the rest of our day in Venice...blue ponchos, man-pri's, bad hair, shoes full of water, and lots of laughter! Notice that the streets are beginning to flood behind Isaac!
We sought refuge from the rain in a restaurant...at least the rain didn't ruin the pizza!
