Venice, Italy Venice was the most unique city that we visited during our time in the Medi- terrean and before we left, one of our favorites. For the charm that Venice has seems to increase as you learn the ways of this city. In Venice the canal replaces the avenue and the gondola the automo- bile. The over one hundred canals that run through the city divide it into a maze of narrow passageways, quaint footbridges, and picturesque struc- tures. The plaza of San Marco, inthe center of the city, is the heart of Vene- tian life. Here is found the world-fam- ous Cathedral of St. Marks, the old customshouses that date back to when Venice was Europe's importer of Ori- ental treasures, and, the city's finest shops andJcafes. The rest of Venice is dark walks, but behind the dingy build- ing fronts these took us by were found its best nightclubs, restaurants, and bars. And while much of Venice's beauty is repetitious, it was a' beauty that no one could tire of.' ,vgnv
