Venice is such a beautiful & romantic city, with is gondolas, canals, music - particularly operatic, and art & historical buildings, and its most famous son in this field, Antonio Vivaldi. Even the children's story of Pinocchoi was written by Carlo Collodi, an Italian; just look at all the beautiful dolls of Pinocchio and friends, gondolas, canals, masks, etc..

At St. Mark's Square, which is surrounded by art & historical buildings, we saw the orchestra that plays at the famous Florian Cafe, flooding when there's high tide, and the famous pigeons scrounging around for crumbs.

Lovely cool to cold weather made walking around in the fresh air wonderful and this is one city we'd love to visit again, as there is so much more to see and appreciate.
