Where Reflections Dance: The Enchanting Evocative Venetian Nights [OC]

This trip to Venice dates back to 2006. This destination provides so much more than what meets the eye. Several emotions come to mind as I set out for yet another way of "seeing" Venice. It has moodiness, mystery, romance, colorful history, melancoly, drama, raucousness, and for me, serenity. Often Venice is referred to by its other name, "La Serenisima", the calm one. This and many other Venice Italy trips were made possible by home exchanges which gave us so much more of an authentic experience of staying in someone's home with introductions to local families and their network of people. On very modest salaries of school teacher and public defender, my wife and I felt like insiders rather than outsiders visiting more than 30 fantastic places,

Here I have included 3 photos with a similar motif of nighttime,the Grand Canal and how to get around.

1- Nighttime vaporetto "pirate ship" 2- Nighttime gondolier w red hat 3- The glorious Rialto Bridge

Enjoy. I welcome comments and I have several more Venice shots I am proud of.
