I really like Venice. I think it helps that our hotel is on a quiet street and canal so you can escape the craziness of all of the tourists. My favorite parts are when you turn down a random alley and get a little lost.
The view from the back dock of our hotel -- it looks out on the lagoon
Along the outside.
The bus! :-)
Our room -- not too shabby
The view from our hotel window over the canal
There is a daycare across the canal -- they take all the kids home in the big red boat
Madonna dell'Orto -- right next to our hotel
Inside of Orto -- reminds me of Villa Terrace in Milwaukee
I read somewhere about the delicate decay which makes Venice so interesting.

Hotel lobby -- the hotel used to be Palazzo Rizzo-Patarol and has a large garden in back (pictures to come)
Mercado! Smelled so good with all of the ripe fruit
Chilies
Fish market
Lots of tomatoes

We still have the day in Venice since we are taking a night train to Bratislava. I will post the last few pictures later. It will be sad to say goodbye to Italy but on to the Eastern Europe portion of our Excursion. --- where things are much cheaper but we have no way of understanding the language.
