Venice Pictures

Venice, April 17th - 21st 2011

The first thing I saw, stepping out of the train station late Sunday.
Then I got on a boat to get to the hotel and took this picture.
We had a guided tour on Monday, the next few pics were taken during that tour.
One of several leaning towers in Venice.
A random church.
Narrow alleys are abundant in Venice.

Gondole!
I forgot the purpose of this building, but it looks nice.
Another trapped cat.
We crossed the "Grand Canal" on boat here.
