"Venice is like eating an entire box of chocolate liqueurs in one go." --Truman Capote

Ahhhh- Venezia.  Well, well.  I am enamored.  Truly enamored.  I am not sure that my words will do this place justice.  Every aspect of Venice is captivating and I am dreaming of coming back already.  Wow!  It is hard to imagine a place can be so romantic while traveling with my mother.  It is though.  From the hotel to the small water taxis, to the 3 gelatos in less than 24 hours- I am in love.  The words I put on the page just can't do it justice- so after a night of strolling the streets of Venice, taking a gondola ride, and watching Italian men entertain a plaza full of people with live music- pictures will have to take over from here!  Ah, la dolce vita.
