Welcome to Venice
For most of our northern Italy trip, I was having trouble remembering exactly where I had been. Why? I was always in the Alps and seeing beautiful mountains. I was always near a lake or river. I was always in a small medieval town. There was always a church high up or on top of a hill. They were always roasting chestnuts. I was always hearing multiple languages spoken. I was always hiking with great scenery. There were always great cafe's and restaurants. I was always drinking wine and expressos. Well, you get my point. Then, we arrived in Venice. Venice was the last stop on our northern Italy trip. I had long been thinking about remembering exactly where I was when I saw something on my trip. And then I was in Venice.
With that as my mind set, my sense of humor took over:
If your hotel parking lot looks like this....
You might be in Venice.
If you walk into your hotel lobby, and one of the first things you see is a life preserver...
You might be in Venice.
If you are walking down one of the town's main streets, and you get splashed by a wave....
You might be in Venice.
If you find yourself walking on a permanent raised walkway, just to get to a water bus....
You might be in Venice.
If you see a police cruiser pass you by...and it actually is a cruiser...
You might be in Venice.
If you go out to a restaurant, and they have a photo like below on the front of their menu...
You might be in Venice.
If you call a taxi cab...and this guy shows up....
You might be in Venice.
