Italy

September is a beautiful time to see Venice, not too hot, not too cold. San Marcos Square and the Grand Canal were the highlights of the town, along with it's gelato!












































This is The Rialto Bridge and the Grand Canal at night.




































We drove to Verona, Italy from Venice. As we crossed the Roman Bridge into the old part of Verona, we went back to 11th Century Italy - it was incredible. The integrity of the old town Verona is impressive. The town square and it's stockade, statues and Juliette's Balcony were quite something!! There really was a family feud between the 2 main families of Verona - Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is base on a true story.

    Wow, this is the first time that I've had a chance to look at all the pictures you took (or at least all the ones you posted) and they are awesome! No wonder you two were so apt on being gone for so long!
