We went to Venice, Italy for six days. We saw lots of beautiful architecture, ate many delicious meals, visited a glass-making cooperative on Murano, visited Burano twice, took a gondola ride around the interior canal, stayed at a great hotel on the Grand Canal, went to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, saw the Damien Hirst "Wreck of the Unbelievable" exhibit, and lots more!!! It was incredible!
