The *real* Venice

Everyone raves about the beauty of Venice. Most people I know count it as their favorite Italian city. This was my second trip (my first was back in July 2005) and it certainly was a different experience. Venice during Carnivale barely resembles the tourist-filled hot box it becomes in the summer. Instead, it's a city filled with locals living their lives, proud to be Venetian.









Staying here was much like traveling back in time to visit Venetian friends. The grandeur, the pride, the hospitality.
