Skip — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 04:08:41 +0000

Well of course this is the island city of Venice. Situated in the Venetian Lagoon along the northern Adriatic Sea, this tightly pack city rest on 118 marshy Islands. It has been glamorized by the movies for decades, one of my favorites, is the story of the bridge of Sighs as depicted in the 1979 film “A Little Romance“.

Gary spent a few days wondering around the maze of Venice.
