Old School Photo Friday

We're continuing our honeymoon journey through Italy this week, you can see Milan here.


After Milan we drove, yep this was a driving tour of Italy. Which was an adventure in and of itself. I should have mentioned that in Milan. See when you are young and traveling with your new bride in a foreign country where you plan on driving from one end to the next what do you do? You rent the biggest (we are so America) car you can get. So we were driving an Audi A4. Which doesn't seem big in America where everyone is driving SUVs but in Milan, there were a lot of these and these:

So an A4? Well it was hard to park, we would have to wait for 2 or three people to pull out to make room. So we basically drove it in between the cities and then parked it in a garage. When you pull into a garage in Milan (especially one as big as an A4) they say, when do you want it back and than the triple park it somewhere in the depths of the garage. 

So where were we? Oh yes, what came next. 

We drove to Venice. I could tell you how beautiful it was to drive but I am not going to lie. I have a sickness and if I am not driving (or being nagged and whined to death) I cannot stay awake in a moving car. Even in Italy. So I slept most of the way. 

Venice was as beautiful as you would imagine:

It was even better because we had friends who lived on the main land, in Mestre. So on top of all the tourist things like cathedrals and gondola rides. We also go to hang out at local restaurants and in their home with friends. It was thoroughly enjoyable and one of the highlights of the trip and experience. 

Oh so beautiful, and just an amazing experience.
