Ah, finally in Italy. And it's just as gorgeous as they say, if not more so. First things first, Italian men freak me out a little in that they love to STARE. Just part of the culture, but seriously, it can make someone self conscious! But Venice, itàs unbelievable. It's like a city on water, with endless bridges, canals, and beautiful little houses. And the most enchanting square with St. Mark's Basillica and the large clock tower. Bellisimo!
