Basilica di San Marco

These four pictures are of the exterior of the Basilica di San Marco. It was a great church. The insides were decorated with excellent mosiacs. Unfortunately they didn't allow cameras inside - maybe this will give a an idea of what it was like inside.

These four pictures are of canals; not a person in sight. They must have all been in San Marco Square, playing with the pigeons.

These three pictures represent a typical day in Venice.

A boat ride along the canals to Murano to see exquisite glass being made. (For an example of Murano glass try this: Murano glass)
