Venice and life on the water

The sights of Venice and experiencing how Venetians live their life on the water was amazing. The trip to the islands of Murano and Burano offered an amazing glass blowing demonstration and the houses were brightly colored for the fisherman to see their homes from the water. With no cars in Venice, we all enjoyed walking through the maze of streets and bridges exploring the town.

Coliseum and Roman Forum

The sights of the coliseum and the Roman Forum provided a great deal of insight into how the people lived then. Fascinating engineering of the coliseum that still stands and is a venue for concerts today. Amazing considering it is 1,700 years old.

St Peter's Cupola

After seeing the wondrous St. Peter's Basilica, climbing 575 steps up this curved stairwell in the dome was well worth it for the spectacular views of Rome awaiting at the top.
