My family and I arrived in Venice on July 30, 2011. After a long day of plane rides, layovers, and yes, even a boat ride from the airport, we arrived at our hotel. While in Venice, we visited Saint Mark's Basilica and went for two gondola rides, where we met Marco, a lovely Italian fellow who would later show my sister, brother, and I how Venicians experience nightlife.
Venice was like no other place I have ever been. It is definitely an experience to be walking down a seemingly normal, albeit, Italian, alleyway, and suddenly hit water, boaters, and ginormous rats. Venice was the most interesting city I have ever visited.
