Venice

Our final day in Italy we spent in Venice. The goal was to ride a gondola! The weather was a little chilly, but not too bad. We drove to Venice, and then wandered around looking for St. Mark's Square. We found it, and then found a gondola. We didn't know if they would even take us out, because the sea was really choppy, but they took us. We got in. I was a little nervous because we kept tipping from side to side, but once we got into the canals it was ok. We rode around on the tourist route, and our gondolier even sang to us! When we got back to the sea it was a little rocky again (I was hanging on for dear life, hoping we wouldn't tip) After that we went to Hard Rock Cafe, again. We walked around some more, did a little shopping and then headed back to our motel.
