Venice and Padova

Ciao! So we drove from Florence to Padova. We stopped in a small town called Ravenna, and saw a small church with gorgeous mosaics.

in the church in Ravenna was a vineyard:)

Saw another beautiful church in Padova and a wonderful little city and that is all I saw of Padova. The next day was our day trip to Venice!!!! I was completely excited! I looked online and saw we would have wonderful weather and could hardly sit the whole bus ride there! 

 Here is the view from the Ferry on the way there which was the coldest part of the day

A pretty building on the way into the dock, and one of the many bridges

 Someones Boat door:) 

 The bridge of Sighs. yes thats probably spelled wrong, but I would imagine that is the sort of sigh-ing that was going on on this bridge. 

my gondola ride!!!!

yes I know not paying attention but hey thats the way it goes. 

hung out with some cool people. 

along the coast of the city. I bought my watercolor just down the road. 

children in venice use chalk too!!!

my second favorite picture of this trip. It captures the city quite well, the colors the bridge the water and the ivy growing up the building. 

Patriotic pasta:)

 another great alley in Venice

an old boat house.

All in all a wonderful day full of walking adventure and great views.
