Venice for Romance and a cruise...

We embark on an adventure to Venezia where we will meet up with eight friends for three nights, pre-celebration, before embarking on a week long cruise.

Venice has been known as the "La Dominante", "Serenissima", "Queen of the Adriatic", "City of Water", "City of Masks", "City of Bridges", "The Floating City", and the "City of Canals".  Luigi Barzini, writing in The New York Times, described it as "undoubtedly the most beautiful city built by man".   In addition, Venice has also been described as being one of Europe's most romantic cities. 

We have never fully explored Venice so hopefully in the time we are there, we'll get lost in the maze that it is and fall in love all over again- Venetian style.

A realist, in Venice, would become a romantic
by mere faithfulness to what he saw before him.

Ah, Venice. Have the best of times in the most romatic city in Italy, maybe in the world.

How fun!! The eight friends are from the states, right? I can't believe you are getting ready to go on the cruise that you have been talking about for a year, or longer?
Have a wonderful time in Venice, and on the cruise. Miss you!
I look forward to seeing your pictures.
Fred and I are going to be in Venice on July 3rd. I am happy we are going to the most romantic city together.
I am hoping that the reason I didn't love Venice before is because I was with my father. Hahaha.
