Last month, my family was fortunate to be in Venice, Italy from Good Friday through the Tuesday after Tuesday.

I thought that Easter Sunday would be crowded but it was nothing compared to the following day. Seemed that everyone in Italy flocked to Venice on Easter Monday.

Here are 8 pictures I took in Venice:

One view from our apartment. A vacation rental is more cost effective than a hotel.

We crossed the Rialto Bridge dozens of times but this was from the first visit. This group of students from England lined the entire side of the bridge. Must have looked cool from the water.

Gondolas can be found on smaller canals, in addition to the Gran Canal.

A quick and inexpensive to experience a gondola ride is a traghetto. This gondolier has attitude!

Our apartment was very near the Rialto Market.

Rialto Market deserves two pictures. Hope you like fresh seafood.
