travel zen on tuesday - venice

Yes - it's another picture of Venice.  I can't help myself - it's such a beautiful place!

A romantic gondola - no, we didn't go on it....

(Venice, Italy).  During our stay in Bologna, we took a day trip to Venice.  It was actually quite easy to take a train from Bologna to Venice (about a one and a half hour trip), and it was entertaining to watch the scenery shift from farms and countryside to water and boats.  I really wanted my husband to see the beauty of Venice with his own eyes but I knew he would not want to spend more than a day there because he can't stand crowds and Venice can be like one big mob scene, especially during high season.
