Europe 2005 Venice Grand Canal

I love going to Venice. I’ve spent a lot of time there. It may be the most unique city in the whole world. The thing I like best about it is that there are no cars in the city. If you want to go somewhere, you walk or catch a boat. Life is really different under those conditions. Life can also be reasonably inexpensive in Venice. They have lots of hostels and if you go in the off-season you can get some good rates. I don’t think Venice ever gets really cold, so it’s not such a problem to go during the winter. I have been there as late as November and it was still temperate. The summer gets a little crowded. 10/2005
