Just a regular day in Venice...











It's always fun to explore new lands, and Venice was quite interesting. We stayed in the Bed and Breakfast Rialto...so super nice. We got the suite (very affordable with the off-season). It was a beautiful apartment in the heart of Venice, overlooking the Grand Canal. Wow, what a location; and the room was superior. It was on the top floor and had ~3 rooms + a bathroom. We felt like we were living in Venice. Apparently there is a high tide in the morning on certain seasons. The water rises and overtakes the walkways. Secondary to this fact, everyone wears rubber-boots. Not knowing this factoid, we didn't bring rubber-boots. No worries...our host at the bed and breakfast provided boots with the room. Cool...huh? Here's a few shots of the room and from the room... (look closely at the one of the sidewalk and see the water to the door).
