Venice

A few days before heading to Madrid we decided to hop a train to Venice for two nights. Venice a city known to have far too many tourist along with mediocre food to feed them. Having both been to Venice we wanted to experience more than the beauty of the canals. The weather was dreary but that didn't stop us from searching out the good of the city, which we happened to find with the help from some locals. The place was called San Michele, a little island about a 5 minute boat ride from the main port. San Michele is skipped over by most tourist who usually head to the islands of Murano and Burano. This might be because San Michele is a floating graveyard. In the 1800's the Venetians turned the island into a cemetery and is consider one of the worlds most beautiful. So after a few days of searching we got a little closer to the real Venice, a place unaltered by tourist.
