Venice, Part 1


Venice is so beautiful and the light is perfect for photography that it was hard to select the first photo to use for this series of posts.  I wanted a shot that would set the mood for our entire time in Italy and selected this one.  It captures the Slosbergs being ourselves, causing trouble, and having fun.  To make it easy on ourselves, we took a short 2 hours flight from Paris to Venice, then took a train within Italy, and flew back from Rome.  Here are more photos from Venice.  Brace yourselves, there are many.

This girl loves gelato!  Look at the huge smile on that face.


I have no idea who she gets that sweet tooth from.

Our guide, who is an archaeologist, taught us about all the well heads located throughout the islands, which is now known collectively the city of Venice.  These wells collected rain water and was the main water source.
