Venice was a really cool city. Picturesque on almost every side. Great food everywhere. I found my new love… Pistacchio gelatto. So good. It’s amazingly easy to get lost in Venice, which we did several times. In the morning we walked by this really cool mask shop. We figured that all of them were mass produced and we’d see more later on in the day. Not true, this shop was one of a kind. Custom hand masks that far exceeded the rest of the shops. We spent about 90 minutes trying to navigate ourselves back to the shop. It was quite a feat if I do say so myself.
Hand painted masks in Venice.
It was a really fun time, but after about a day in Venice you’ve pretty much seen it. Sunday morning we sat in a little cafe having an early lunch before we flew back to Paris. It was really funny watching the parade of tourists come off the cruise ships and walk down the cobblestone streets. I guarantee they didn’t have as good of naviagational skills as Michael. Pictures abound…

- This and 1866 bridges like it are the perfect reason not to take your stroller bound kids to Venice.

Yes! I’m glad there’s another Pistachio Gelati aficionado out there!
