On Foot 
Walking around Venice's streets is like a maze. It's easy to get lost - and sometimes you just dead end into a small canal (As you see Roger doing below) This one is just a few feet from our room. 
Notice the two men painting
The Vaporetto is a "Water Bus". Think of it as the Metro. We purchased a 4 day passes, and could take it anywhere within the lagoon. On our last day we decided to spend a few hours just riding the Vaporetto around. 
Pay close attention as boats come from both directions - and they slam into these docks (which I think are floating). It's a little concerning the first time.
The Grand Canal
The Piazza Roma is the major station where the buses with wheels (tis what they call them) meet the water buses. Here is where everyone leaves a vehicle with wheels to enter into the lagoon. We arrived at rush hour with all of our bags, and I was afraid as I watched hundreds of people hustle from bus to boat.
This is a DHL delivery boat. 
St Mark's Basilica
Doge's Palace
These are two of Sharon's pictures. This first one may be my most favorite picture from the whole trip.
St Mark's Square is one of the first places to flood during high tide. The water seeps through the rock.
It was built in 1591.
The stones are almost smooth - How many hands does it take to make rock smooth?
The Rialto Market
The market moved to Rialto area in 1097.
They just cut your fish on a folding table - in the middle of the street.
This is a large market (my pictures do not do it justice), and it is broken down and loaded into boats every day by 2pm.
Our B&B in Venice
We stayed in a B&B that had just finished it's remodeling. Just a couple of blocks from the Rialto Bridge.
Here are a few pictures/video of Venice from the lagoon.
Notice the leaning tower, many towers in Venice lean.
We went to watch some real Murano glass being created.
What a beautiful Island. The brightly colored houses make great pictures. We were told that the houses were painted like this because when fishermen came home they couldn't tell which house was theirs through the fog, so they painted them so they could pick them out.
If I thought the glass was expensive, the hand-made lace is really expensive. I watched a very old woman making it - it's worth the money, it would take her 8hrs/day for 4 months to make a tablecloth, and it would cost about 15K.
Bokar Fortress
The Bokar Fortress was originally designed to protect the entrance to Dubrovnik's harbor.
We showed up in Croatia with no idea of the exchange rate. We thought it was 15:1, so we were ready to shop -- we found out as we left that it is actually 5:1. My necklace (that Jerry has a good pneumonia tale to tell) was way more than I thought!
Enter the old town through the Pile Gate - in front of you is the Stradun. Here you will find the Onofrio Fountain, built in 1438
This is one of my favorite pictures.... actually this was one of my favorite city's that we visited.
