It’s in Italy and that’s enough for me. Add the intrigue of a city with no roads, just canals and I’m in. With over 100 small islands to explore it is sure to keep my days occupied. History, shopping and good food… can’t wait to visit. Have you visited Venice? I would love to hear your suggestions of things to do, places to see, best restaurants and any other tidbits.
Anti’s and Pros
A few years ago I experienced a situation where I was the victim of a home invasion. Well, that’s what it was in my mind. A man burst into my home, through a window, and assaulted me in my living room at 3:00 A.M. I was sure it was a crime!
