My parents headed home yesterday, leaving a bit of an empty nest feel around the apartment. After two weeks of having guests, it's a bit weird for us to come home at night and not have anyone around. That said, it's nice to return to a bit of a routine.

After going back through my photos from Venice, I found some more that I wanted to share. The first is a shot of some Gondolas and a couple of Gondolieres taking a break. For "only" 100 Euro, you can get a 40 minute ride.
The following is a church that I liked. We passed it on the boat a number of times, but didn't have the opportunity to go inside.
Here's a photo of some Venetian carnival masks. They made me think of Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut.
The following are some buildings along a canal. One of my favorite parts of Venice was simply walking around and looking at the various buildings. While I've read a lot on the engineering behind the city's foundations, it's still a bit difficult to fully understand how a marshy lagoon was physically transformed into one of the most important cities in history.
The following is a mosaic that was above the door on a small church that we walked by.
And to finish things off, here's another shot from one of the smaller canals. You could spend days just walking around the backstreets of the city and taking in the views.
