Here is the famous Rialto Bridge; this picture was taken from end of the street that led to our B&B. You can see one of the private water taxis in the foreground. There is no motorized traffic anywhere in Venice, so you get where you are going either on foot or by boat. They have boats for everything! We saw produce boat, garbage boats, recycling boats. And the traffic on the Grand Canal (this is what the Rialto spans and it is the equivalent of Venice's major highway through the city).

Haley, your descriptions are great! At some point soon, I want to schedule about 30 minutes of your time to let you fill me in on your trip - where you stayed, bargain hunting for airfare, hotels/B&Bs. Deal? You tell me what a good time would be and I'll work out getting in touch with you.
