Kevin and I decided that while on vacation money was NO object......if you believe that I have some real estate with a GREAT ocean view in Fountain, Colorado. Ha ha ha! We did decide, however, that an 80 Euro, 30 minute gondola ride was worth it. You never know when you are going to be back in Venice and Venice is more beautiful and inspiring by water. So....here are some photos from our ride. Oh, and....our gondolier did not sing.....that would have been 100 Euros.
Us in the gondola.
Some of the
buildings and palaces....and a nice shot of my ankle.
A view of the Grand Canal.
This is the oldest palace in Venice. Our gondolier said it is about 1200 years old. It has been reclaimed and the city plans to turn it into a museum....though it is slowly sinking. They have about 12 inches before the water runs over the first floor.
A beautiful building with gorgeous flowers.
A view of the
Rialto Bridge from the gondola....a truly different experience going under the bridge in the gondola versus the water taxi.

I think we may have to spring for a gondola ride, too. Not sure with Ashlyn, though.
