Where to begin! What a time. We kept busy during the day yesterday being tourists. We went to St. Mark's square, Palace of the Doges, St. Mark's basilica, and the Campanile.

It was quite a busy day. We went back to the hotel to to rest up and take a quick nap. On the way out a hotel employee recommended a great place for dinner. His favorite place, but not a popular place with tourists. It was great. Annie had a whole slew of things she would normally never eat, and our main course was pasta served out of a cheese bowl! This rivals the big honkin reeses peanut butter cup from San Diego!

After dinner we walked along the Grand Canal and found a spot to have dessert and a bottle of wine. Our seat was right on the river. We spent the better part of an hour watching the boats go by.

After dessert, we headed back to St. Mark's square to drink more wine and listen to a 4 string band. The setting was amazing. We drank (a lot) of wine in this vast square, listened to music, and stayed up way to late.

We returned to our hotel (no idea what time, but just about all of venice was sleeping), and drank one last bottle of champaigne on our balcony. It was the perfect ending to great day in Venice.
