We are starting to feel our time here abroad is coming rapidly to a close. With a seventeen day Easter break, we decided to fit Italy and Greece in one long trip. To pardon the expense of such a long and elaborate trip, we are calling it an early five year anniversary excursion.
Our first destination was Venice. It was Jesse's first time here in this beautiful unique city. We had the perfect weather to start our trip. 70 degrees and sunny.
We took a gamble and went with the dish of the day served out in the square to Italians sipping wine. The calamari and chardonnay for ten euros was a good choice.
Jesse's crack research as the "food and fun" coordinator found us the best pizza in all of Venice. We waited around for close to an hour to be first in line for this local delicacy. Jesse loved it so much that he went back for another piece!

Venetian Soldier
Venice is famous for its hand blown glass makers. We watched a professional render an impeccable model of a seal in less than ten minutes. These scary bugs were so life like, we just had to capture them.
