We bought a USB cable that allowed us to connect Mary's camera to the computer (we forgot ours at home). This was primarily for safekeeping of the photos, but it also allows me to add some last photos of Venice that Mary took (all these below are hers).

Captions included this time.

This guy was much more chivalrous than I was.

As you can see, Acqua Alta forced people to get creative.

But this couple eventually made it through by combining forces.

Delivery of goods in Venice takes a group effort. Up and down, up and down, over the canals.

Mary really liked taking pictures of laundry.

The Winged Lion at Piazza San Marco … there are winged lions all over the city.

We took the vaporetto boats around Venice, including the scenic #1, which go the length of the Grand Canal, stopping regularly. This is the Rialto Bridge.

From the top of the bell tower in Piazza San Marco.

This is also from the top of the bell tower … there were at least four cruise ships docked in Venice at any given point. Things get a lot quieter as it gets dark and they all clear out. This ship's just leaving (and must have a beautiful view of the city as it does).

This is the square where we stayed. Our hotel was off it, down a dark little alley and in a quiet little courtyard. But it was pretty great to us while we were there.

So that should about round out the Venice photo album. We've been in Florence for more than a day, so I'll probably start posting about that soon. But still … we just really loved Venice.
