Easter in Venice

Well this posting is long overdue, so we'll make this short and sweet. We spent Easter in Venice-it was Conrad's first time there and my second (I had been before with my best girlfriends in college one Spring Break). We traveled there with our friends Libby and Scott. Below is a picture of the four of us sharing a boat ride from the airport to our apartment, a view of The Rialto Bridge from our boat ride, as well as a lit up gondola we passed by on our way to dinner that night:



The next day we woke up to explore the rest of the city. The apartment we were staying in wasn't too far from The Rialto Bridge so we crossed that every day, going in and out of nearly every store in it, catching the view of the Grand Canal from it quite often, as well as hitting up the Rialto food market now and again.

We made it to St Mark's Square later that day and then Murano Island the next day to check out the blown glass for which it's famous:




Then on Easter Sunday we managed to take a gondola ride through some smaller canals and into the Grand Canal, and ended the evening (and the trip pretty much) with bellinis at Harry's Bar followed by a lovely dinner at Cipriani's Fortuny restaurant.

Another great trip!
