Venice

The 'super romantic' city with water on their streets: Venice. We took a day trip and saw the sights. Here they are:

A shot of the city as we approached on the ferry.
My token 'I was in Venice' foto.
A video from the first main bridge we came to in Venice...Americans.
A cool little Venitian courtyard at a crosstreet.

The colors they use are pretty sweet. Maybe the super old buildings have something to do with it too.
A shot taken from the Ferrari tourist trap store window.
The streets of Venice, on the gondola ride route.
Angie, Jessica and I on the gondola ride.
The gondola ride video!

Does this look awkward to anyone else?
Our gondola ride group, with our trusty driver in the background. He has only fallen into the water twice in his career.
Jessica, Jessica, Eric and Rachael in front of the San Marco (Saint Mark) church, one of the largest gathering spots in the city.

A shot of all of San Marco square.
The ferry ride from Venice back to our bus. Our group of 50 comprises most of the girls paying special attention to the guy holding the camera right now, that was about the only time the girls paid any attention to me. Oh, and when I unloaded their baggage from the bus, that was the other time...
Video of our departure from Venice.


A pretty cool shot from the above mentioned ferry on the way home.

I haven't wanted to go to Europe for a while, but your pictures make me want to go to Europe.
