Views from a Venetian Gondola

We were saddened to read in today's newspaper that "nearly 3/4 of Venice was flooded Monday...as a wave of bad weather swept through northern and central Italy...high water in Venice reached 5 feet, the sixth-highest level since records began in 1872". 

We were so fortunate to have had such beautiful weather during our visit to this special city.

Being in a gondola gives you a whole new perspective of the canals.

I'm so happy we had this wonderful experience of riding in a gondola on small canals and I hope that the flooding eases quickly.
