Italy: Venice & Florence

venice was amazing, a total fantasy land- we spent our time there wandering the canals getting lost, drinking espresso and dining on fresh seafood. we skipped out on a gondola ride (150 euro- ouch) and instead took a water taxi up and down the grand canal.

from venice it was on to florence! where we took the only photo of the whole trip with pete and i in the same frame ; )
