Getting lost in Venice

Oct. 12 

Today we explored the island of Venice. We walked around to see what awaited us. It's very easy to get lost, as there are small, short streets, that all look very similar.

 

There are also a lot of squares, and dead ends, because of the water.

But we ended up at Piazza San Marco (AKA St. Mark's square), which is the most prominent square in Venice. 



St. Mark's Square

 S. Marco square has lots of places to eat, as well as, St. Mark's Campamille (bell tower).

The square also houses St. Mark's Basilica (a famous church).

When walking around Venice you will see lots of water ways, all filled with boats. Including gondolas! At some point this week I will take a gondola ride.
