Gondola in Venice

My favorite place in the world!

I am absolutely in love with Venice to the point of obsession. Why the infatuation? I'm not completely sure but it has an affect on me. It may be its history , its culture, its people or its uniqueness in the world. There is no other city like Venice. It will constantly surprise and amaze you every time you turn a corner. If you are a fan of the Renaissance, art, history, architecture and/or religion, Venezia will deliver. She will exhaust you with everything she has to offer. You can not see everything in a day or two or maybe even in a week. Which is why people are compelled to return time and time again.
