Venice
A quick day trip to Venice to experience life on a different kind of island, traverse the Grand Canal, check out the one of a kind St. Mark's and of course enjoy a proper Prosecco Tasting!

St Mark's ceiling is a golden heaven of Byzantine style mosaics dating back to 1125
These sneaky photos are not allowed inside-snapshots simply do not do justice to the Golden Glory interior of this church
Constantinople bronze cast chariot horses (@175 BC) replicas symbolize Apollo, the Greco-Roman god of the sun & secular power
My artistic view of the Campanile(bell tower) though the trampling hoofs of the horse.
Clock tower from St Mark's balcony-original coloring of blue & gold, a reminder that long ago this city glowed with bright color
Clock Tower-Alert winged lion, symbol of St Mark & the city, looks down. His book reads Pax Tibi Marce-Peace to you, Mark.
St Mark's Piazza from the balcony. Napoleon's architects tried to make his wing bridge the styles of the side wings
Marciana Library with all the statues lining the top edge and St Theodores Column as seen from the balcony
Tammy and I on the St Mark's church balcony.
Venetian Lagoon-protected by the Lido, shallow waters & sandbars made Venice the only great medieval city never walled
Bacino Orseolo- Very busy gondola tour spot just outside St. Mark's Square, surrounded by shops, hotels and Hard Rock Cafe.
Hotel Cavalletto's curbside service..... minus the curb.... and the street.
