We took so many photographs while we were visiting Italy last month. Venice, our first stop, was such an incredibly beautiful city. It’s actually made up of 117 little islands, all connected together with bridges. Since their roads are canals, there are no cars, or even bicycles, in Venice, as many of the bridges have stairs.
Everywhere you turned, there was something old and interesting to photograph. Among the old buildings, there were 77 churches, though we were told there used to be twice as many.
We were given a tour of some local bars by a Venetian man and he talked to us about wine and the bars in Venice. “We drink what we like,” he said. “Who said you have to drink white wine with fish? If you like red, you drink red.”
The oldest bar there, still open under the same name, dates back to 1462. When asked how old the bar was that we were sitting in, he said, “Not very old, only five centuries.”
