Venice is Amazing!!!


It costs $1.50 euro to go to the bathroom.....but the city of Venice is amazing.  We actually could not enter the city without being shuttled in by boat.  It is strictly a pedestrian city.....no vehicles.  The city of Venice has over 400 bridges that connect individual "islands" that the city is built on.


Here is Jenesa and Lauren on the boat ride into the city of Venice.


Once we made it into Venice.....we traveled to St. Mark's Square which houses the church.  Unfortunately, the church was having a service and the line to get in was over 2 hours long......so we took a few pictures from the square and moved on!!!



The "City of Bridges" is known for its art, architecture and culture.  The canals are lined with beautiful buildings and churches that date back to the 13th century.  The Rialto Bridge was the only bridge to cross the Grand Canal until the 19th century and was mentioned in Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice."

Leonard, you are a cheap booger! Let your poor wife have a few coins to pee. You are so cheap you are probably begging her to squat behind a bush ... just to save a few pennies to invest! -Johnny C
