We decided to start or vacation in one of the world's truly unique cities:Venice. One of the more immediatly interesting things about Venice is that the roads are, well, canals. You don't drive in Venice, you boat! This means the Taxis and the Busses are boats. This because the city is actually built mostly on water. Founded over 1000 years ago, Venice spans 118 small islands. Most front doors are two steps up from water. This is because most travel throughout history was by boat. Merchants would sail door to door. If you want to walk anywhere, you are relegated to narrow lanes, sometimes not big enough for two people to pass. At night they can get a little creepy. We visited the fish market. Many interesting fishies, and tuna steaks that made me wish we had a kitchen in the suite. Our first major stop of the trip was the Doges (Ruler) Palace. To get to it we of course had to walk through St. Mark's Square , which is a tourist attraction by itseslf. It is the largest meeting place in Venice.
