These lovely statues are perched atop the buildings in the public square in Trieste, Italy. This beautiful coastal town sits on the Adiatic Sea between Italy and Slovenia. It’s a well-kept secret that’s just a quick train ride from Venice — a perfect day trip!

This is in the Venice Lagoon, approaching Burano Island, Italy, on a lazy Sunday afternoon. What a life!

Burano is a colorful island in the Venice Lagoon. It’s about a 30-minute boat ride from Venice and it’s a gorgeous tour of the island from the water. The day I visited, there was a regatta (lucky!), so the boat dropped us off at the stop before the main dock, and we had to walk a short distance along this gorgeous path. It was Sunday, and I suspect this adorable couple had been to church and were out strolling.

This is the front of a building in Burano Island — those scrolls are painted on the building…not Photoshop. The entire island looks Photoshopped!
