Have you been to a place that will stay forever in your heart ????   I have been lucky enough to have been to many places in the world but several of them just stayed in my heart and I long to visit them again ..Venice is one such place ...I have been there twice and would love to go and live there for a month or two before I depart this world ....This is Danny and I standing on the roof of the Basilica in St. Marks Square on a wonderful sunny hot day ...

If you ever go there don't stand in the huge lines out in the hot sun go online before you leave and get a 
fast track pass ..it's free and will give you a time to enter the Basilica through another gate ...we were so pleased we did this

Being a cat lover I just love this photo ...do walk through the streets not always in the boats as you will discover so much more and enjoy your experience even more ..you never know what is around the corner ...breath in the atmosphere

This was our bedroom in the hotel Ca' Dogressa
Picture
This is were we ate breakfast every morning ..if the weather wasn't good there is a breakfast room within the hotel but every day was perfect ....it was funny to see the UPS delivery passing by on the UPS boat instead of a truck
Picture
​I would recommend this hotel to anyone

This is the Proprietor to the left ...a wonderful host and my Son and Husband contemplating life before we went out for our day in Venice ...Son was texting of course ..ha! ha!

There was a little excitement on the Grand Canal as we stood on the Rialto Bridge ..a Police chase with siren's etc... just like out of a James Bond Movie 
Picture
We found a fabric store in a tiny street and of course I had to go in ...I found this lovely floral embroidered fabric and this unusual trim and Danny chose this tapestry of the Grand Canal and Rialto Bridge ..so I made a pillow/cushion with it when I came home and smile everytime I pass it ..creating memories

This is the backside of the pillow

​They are a little pricey about 100 Euro's..shop around and barter for a good price but a Gondola ride is incredible
Picture
The water really is turquoise and some people say you can smell it in the heat of the summer days but I have always been there in the summer and never have smelt any odor

Back Streets and cute steps leading to the canals

Coming up the Grand Canal in a Water Bus ....it's the best way to get around if you have had enough of walking plus you get some breeze on a hot summer day  ...they are everywhere and fairly cheap ...a visit to the Rialto bridge is a must ..it's fascinating but be prepared for crowds

​Happy Days everyone
