I love Venice. It is a bit touristy, to be sure, but there are no cars, and even just wandering the streets is exciting. It is a beautiful city, like no other that I have seen. Florence is also lovely. climb to the top of the Duomo, because it gives the best view of the city and surrounding countryside. The Uffizi is worth the wait, esp if you chat up the street artists around the square. They gave me tips on my sketching when I was there. :) I second the gelato motion. eat it every day. it is that good. have fun, and post pictures!
