a cool looking walkway
this transluates as "yes I can"
the Grand Canal

You can sit in San Marco square and listen to a concert for a modest table sitting fee.
A mom and daughter were having this deant ice cream ... a chocolate gondola filled with ice cream, toppings, cookies and a shiny paper sparkler! wow`
Nora poses like a Venetian statue
Dave at the pool, which was on the rooftop
this is the platform where we waited for the hotel water taxi to take us to Venice
This is Dino - he is a shop owner and winemaker
This is Dino's wine - I bought some red wine from him. He filled an empty 2 litre water bottle for me.
The back view of our water taxi
our hotel on the right "Stucky Molina Hilton" It is an old flour mill and factory.
From the airport there are 2 ways to get to Venice. A water taxi - or a bus that takes a long time. So we splurged a little bit and had a private water taxi bring us to our hotel - still less expensive than a gondola ride.
We spent 3 wonderful nights in Venice Italy - it felt like being in Italy was like coming home. Finally a culture I could understand. Here are some photos of our time here in Venice. And no, we didn't go on a Gondola ride - first of all it seems a little bit cheesy - and second of all it is way too expensive. Any guesses on the price?

Now you've gotta tell us how much the gondola ride cost. I have absolutely no clue. Here's a guess though: double the price of the "water taxi"?
I'm with Shirley - I just can't imagine NOT taking a gondola ride, even if it was just for 5 minutes. I took one at the Venice hotel/casino in Las Vegas once - fun!
We paid $40 each to take a 2-hour ride to see buffalo in South Dakota.
That jeweled underwear was quite something - Randy might have liked that! Myself, I would have ordered the ice cream & chocolate gondola-yum!
