Rialto Bridge

A super close up is the best I can do to show
the bridge and not the scaffolding

The Grand Canal traverses through the heart of Venice and there are only four bridges that cross it.  Rialto Bridge is the most famous and most photographed.  Similar to the Ponte Vecchio in Florence, the Rialto Bridge is lined with shops on both sides.  Unfortunately for us, the bridge is undergoing renovation.  We've seen a lot of scaffolding while we've been in Italy.  It's good to know that these sites are being preserved, but it makes for horrible pictures.  Perhaps this is a clever ploy to make us come back so we can see it in all its glory.  We're just grateful to be able to be here and experience it, even if I don't have a very good photo.
