Trip of a Lifetime IV

TRAIN RIDE TO VENICE
MY FIRST VIEW OF VENICE FROM THE TRAIN STATION
THIS CITY IS ALWAYS BUSTLING

OUR APARTMENT WAS NEAR THE GUGLIE BRIDGE AND THE JEWISH GHETTO
THIS BAKERY WAS AMAZING AS WELL AS THE RESTAURANT
AROUND THE CORNER FROM IT

GONDOLAS EVERYWHERE....
AS FAR AS I WAS CONCERNED, I WAS RIGHT BACK IN EPCOT!!!!
THE ITALIAN PAVILLION IS MODELED AFTER THESE BUILDINGS

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PICTURES
SAN MARCO BASILLICA
THE MARBLE WAS SPECTACULAR
LOOK AT THS HANDSOME MAN
THE CANALS
THE RIALTO BRIDGE
FROM A DISTANCE
A DAY TRIP TO MURANO- WHERE THE MURANO GLASS IS MADE
ONE OF THE BEST PICTURES EVER THAT I TOOK.....

ITALY!!
