View from the Grand Canal

This afternoon, we took the Vaporettti (water bus) from the beginning of the Grand Canal, all the way to the end (just past Piazza San Marco). It took about 40 minutes, and was just fantastic. Along the way, we listened to Rick Steves' audio tour. (podcast) from my phone. It was a great way to see Venice and to hear about some of its history. We've decided that you just can't take a bad photo while in Italy. Everything is so photogenic! :)
