Charlotte's Visit

Who needs the Sistine Chapel when you have this gorgeous place in the Doge palace in Venice?

There is a magical hour just at dusk when it seems all the colors come alive for the camera

Check out the flooding.  It was so.much.fun.  You buy boots and go wading.  The shops close up.  This lasted a couple of hours and by evening it was all dry again.  

You can make your own Magnum bars!  You choose what flavor of ice cream for the center, what chocolate you want to dip into and what toppings to roll it in.  Don't miss this if you go to Venice!

Went up the bell tower this time.  Also worth the entrance fee b/c the views are amazing.  And for future reference stay at this apartment:  Casa Contarina.  Contact: Gino Lachin at sanmarco865@hotmail.it (tel +39 348 69 55 094)

Two days in Amsterdam.  Rented bikes.  The way to get around in this city.

The magic hour again for light and color.  For future reference, stay at the Bridge Hotel but be sure to ask for a canal view on the top floor.

When it comes to views, you're the expert! And make your own Magnum bar...how divine!

The magnum bar is so cool. I love both those cities and would go back in a heartbeat. I'm curious how much the boots cost.
