  • Suba, Tobi and Dylan in our Venice apartment width:640;;height:480
  • Venice is also known as the "City of Masks". You find these everywhere! width:360;;height:480
  • Tobi saw this gorgeous balcony and asked the woman "What hotel is this?" Turns out it's a hostel. A HOSTEL! Can you believe it? width:360;;height:480
  • Gondolier width:360;;height:480
  • The Grand Canal width:640;;height:359

  • San Marco Square by moonlight width:640;;height:480
  • 30 minutes before this picture was taken, this area was dry. We came back to see water burbling out of this grate. This is the "Aqua Alta" which happens at high tide in winter and spring. width:640;;height:480
  • Basilica San Marco at night. Whooo-oooooo-ooooo! width:640;;height:480
  • Even creepier: it looks like the church is melting... or bleeding! width:360;;height:480
  • The world's first "digital clock"... built in 1400. The time says "X 20" (10:20pm) and the numbers change at 5-minute increments. Cool! width:360;;height:480
  • Some special, postcard-perfect street? Not really... the whole town looks like this! width:640;;height:480
  • These low passages aren't for everybody... width:640;;height:480
  • ... but a man of the cloth can handle it. width:640;;height:480
  • Kevin and Dylan width:360;;height:480
  • These next few shots were one of these strange/wonderful "travel moments" you can't buy. We passed by this church and heard music... only to discover that there was a funeral procession for a war veteran going by. Sad, but beautiful in its own way. width:640;;height:480
  • Funeral procession... by water width:640;;height:480
  • width:640;;height:480
  • The Angel of Death... and his pet cat. width:360;;height:480
  • The Grand Canal. width:640;;height:480
  • Suba, and San Marco in the background width:640;;height:480
  • a "working" gondolier width:360;;height:480
  • The Grand Canal... again. No cars in Venice: the main form of transportation is either walking, or water-bus. You have to love a city where this is considered "commuting"! width:640;;height:480
  • The Rialto Bridge width:640;;height:480
  • ... a Venetian busker width:640;;height:480
  • This pizza was - get this - pumpkin, cherry tomato and buffalo mozzarella. Incredibly yummy! width:640;;height:480
  • A Venetian market... on a boat, naturally. width:640;;height:359
  • Basilica San Marco... much less scary in the daytime! width:640;;height:480
  • ... um, we're really not sure what this means. width:640;;height:480
  • The Basilica Santa Maria Della Salute. On Dylan's last trip to Venice, he wrote a choral piece sitting on the front steps. width:269;;height:480
  • a Venetian mansion. Great location, slightly damp main floor. width:640;;height:359
  • Believe it or not, Suba does a mean Marlon Brando/Godfather impersonation. Kevin made her buy this shirt. Suba couldn't refuse. width:360;;height:480
  • ... another beautiful canal scene. width:640;;height:480
  • What? What's this?! Seeing a car in Venice is like seeing a Martian. Fortunately, it's just a modern art display. Or someone very, very lost. width:640;;height:480
  • Our final Venetian sunset width:640;;height:480
