Just before we paid the exhorbatant fee for the Gondola ride they were kind enough to take our picture

More gondolas the following morning

Slightly bigger than a gondola

We cruised the Grand Canal

A traghetto stop. The traghettos will ferry you across the Grand Canal for reasonable money

Along the Grand Canal

There was some interesting art

We believe this was concrete being pumped to an upper level

A water taxi along the Grand Canal

The Rialto Bridge

Gelato!

At the base of the Rialto

We had a few appetizers and some wine at Cafe Florian on our last night. Thanks to Sharon and her husband (darn, I can't remember his name) from Chicago for this suggestion. We had dinner with them in Florence.

Apparently some Venetians want to keep Venice to themselves.

Well, we were going home anyway.
