Vibrant Venice

-

Enchanting and vibrant, Venice has been a favorite of Italy travel sites.  Transportation is easy even though you're on the water.  Water taxi's are steps from the train station and much cheaper than gondola's if you prefer that way to get around the city. 



The popular Rialto Bridge















































St. Mark's Square for culture and people watching.

Dining by the Rialto Bridge




 Plenty of good restaurants to choose from but this one took online reservations in advance.



Love the beautiful florals along the waterways and their unique verandas.





 
Famous Harry's Bar--famous Bellini cocktail white peach juice and prosecco





Plenty of coffee bars-remember in Italy if you take the coffee away from the bar, they charge more money!

Anjelica and Sam Neill are a 1950s married couple with six children, one of whom, Randall, is autistic . The parents' initial decision not to institutionalize the boy results in a terrific strain on the rest of the family.                         She also played an Italian in "Prizzi's Honor" directed by her father.     Vogue Italia  recognized Angelica's 60th birthday recently by displaying many of the above photos.  She is pictured with Jack Nicholson, her longtime friend.  At her ranch house at left.   A look at her Ranch House. ..continue...
