It's very grey and drab here in St Petersburg, so today let's go to a happier place. They call St. Petersburg the "Venice of the North" because we have a few canals. And in a way it is (although I would give that title to Amsterdam). But it's sort of like comparing a red wine from Ohio to French Burgundy. Or calling monkfish "poor man's lobster". Nice try, but it's not REALLY the same!
So without too many comments, here's the canals of Venice, taken two weeks ago on a beautiful Friday afternoon when I was playing hooky from work :)))
From the Rialto Bridge
The building on the right was our hotel, the Westin Europe & Regina
View from the OTHER side of the Rialto Bridge. Stop Mafia!
A few blurry nighttime pictures from a gondola ride with my guy

Great canal pictures, Jen. Brought back many happy memories.
