Ciao, da Italia



Adorable, right?




People love selfies





Martha, looking picturesque


Karen, being a tourist ;)




At our first Italian restaurant, where the service was terrible. 
But we're in Venice, so still smiling!




The alley way where our hostel lay.


Beginning to explore






Of course, I was wearing shorts.
They are very Catholic in Italy.






There were (luckily) signs pointing you wherever you needed to go.












View from the gondola.








We shared it with an Australian couple.
They were on their last leg of a 6 month trip!





Apparently they don't have dryers in Italy






I was trying to get the people in costume (in the back)


soz, Karen


They had gondola "street" signs!




I'm obsessed with clotheslines






Back on the Grande Canal






Rialto Bridge




Side view of Rialto Bridge




Typical tourist shot.


She's not actually holding anything












We had great weather



Message in a bottle?  or just litter...



















I wanted that boat. (favorite color)


Another gondola sign! I love it.



Clotheslines!!





Very touristy area.








St. Mark's Cathedral.







Gondolas galor! 





Giant marble and gold staircase, NBD















Inside the Bridge of Sighs (we think)

























And here are the phone pics:


Bfast the first day was delightful.


I love ivy!





Really cool, colorful, expensive pasta!


The Italian's idea of "coffee"




Our view from an outdoor café


Cheers! (enjoying some Spritz)


Gondola selfie!






This is unfortunately the only picture I got featuring the Venetian masks.




(as seen on instagram)



Happy hour cocktails! (mojitos are delish)


We like our wine in pitchers


The best pizza


Just look at that beauty


Even the floor was marble (in St. Mark's Cathedral)



The Italians like to use solid gold in their ceilings.






Literally, gold ceilings.






We convinced the guy to let us get fro-yo even though it was closed.
(we were only a minute late)

And there ya have it, folks!
