Venezia

We enjoyed a day in Venice, 5:30am to 8:30pm. What a day it was!  We had St. Mark's Square to ourselves at 7am...

The Grand Canal became really busy as the day progressed.

We made our way over the Rialto Bridge

To the historic Rialto Fish Market. Octopus anyone?

Ah the gondola...

Venice -I definitely want to come back!

Roma

It's summer in Roma, meaning it is affollata y calda. Crowded and hot! A good game plan is to walk from water fountain to water fountain, stay in the shade, skip the heat of the day, stay inside at the musuems, enjoy the awesome public parks and avoid the Disneyland parts of Rome.

Off the beaten path in Roma makes for some beautiful photographs. Enjoy!

Ciao.

Best 28th Birthday Ever

What an amazing last few days, I am struck by the beauty of Paris, and its sophisticated style. I adore the public gardens and parks interspersed throughout the city; so well groomed, full of birds and ideal for people watching. Thankful for my good pair of walking shoes.

First evening in Paris

Great flight, arrived safely with no problems. After dinner in Luxembourg Gardens, we walked the streets of Paris and arrived in time for the lights to glitter at the Eiffel Tower!

Now time to get some rest in time for the big 2-8 tomorrow. :)
