Most come from my DSLR, though some are iPhone and some are point-and-shoot. \u00a0I think they all capture the beauty of Italy though. \u00a0Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">We started our trip in Venice. \u00a0I wasn&#8217;t sure what to think since I&#8217;ve heard mixed reviews, but honestly this may have been my favorite part of the trip. \u00a0Maybe it was the experience of seeing this place first after getting off the plane or the magic this city has. \u00a0Either way, just amazing&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
