Pre-Christmas Venice for Five Days

My wife, Tricia-Rose, and I decided to avoid the post-election blues by escaping the U.S. and spending five days in Venice before boarding the NCL Spirit for an 11-day Mediterranean cruise. Venice was cold and foggy but festively decked out for the holidays and without the sultry summer crowds and lagoon smells. Hotels were amazingly cheap off-season and the notorious venue lines were short. And the dollar was nearly at par with the Euro.

Here are my best images from this very photogenic area. See if you can find Igor Stravinsky's grave site. Note: If you left click the first image you can easily scroll through the approximate 120 images to view what you like.
