Venice




At 8 am, the train stopped and woke me up. Finally, there it was the most beautiful, marvelous, and romantic place that I used to dream to visit. Venice is truly the city of art. It amazed me how a beautiful City like this could be floating on water.  As I was pulling my luggage toward my hotel, I passed by St. Mark’s Basilica. It looked more majestic and ancient than what I thought. As the sun setting, we were heading out for dinner at a beautiful restaurant right next to the canal. I had the best spaghetti seafood dish ever. No wonder spaghetti is originally from Italy. The seafood was so fresh and the sauce was very distinct and special. As I enjoyed my dinner, the Gondola passed by. I think it was very traditional of Venice. We decided to take a Gondola tour around the City after dinner. It was the most romantic boat tour that I had ever in my life. Everything was perfect: the beautiful view of the city on water, the singing, the Gondola.  I spent my last day in Venice taking the ghost walking tour. Venice is the place of romantic and ghosts of the past. I was told about all the stories from the past about ghosts in Venice. It was quite interesting and to know that each little place will have its own story about ghosts. One more thing I’d recommend to you is that pizza. Pizza in Venice is the best, trust me. I was In Venice for only three days, but I enjoyed every minute of it and took a lot of pictures for memories. Venice is just like a heaven. Experience yourself!

  1. I am so jealous of your trip to Venice, but I love the pictures and the account you gave to us all. I saw a show on Gondolas and found out that most of these folks do not sing while they take you down the water ways. I guess the singing was only for the movies! LOL

  2. Dr. McCarthy,
    It was a wonderful place to visit. There are so many interesting things there like the theatrical masks. I would be fun to go on one of those all dress up and in mask party. I went with 7 other friends so it was lots of fun exploring and tried new things there. I would like to come back again to visit with my love one.
