Top 5 reasons why I have to visit Venice!

I'm sure there's way more than 5 reasons but here's my list:

1.  FOOOOOD
Need I say more?  Ever since I watched Anthony Bourdain eat the streets of Venice, I told myself I was going there.  Yeah yeah the mask parties and the beautiful scenery of Venice is to die for but honestly, I just wanna chow down on some Seafood Risotto (YUM!).

How can you resist eating this??! 

2.  Vaporetto Grand Canal Tour

Okay okay.  I know this is really touristy but come on, how often do you get to see Venice??!?  And you never know, the boat driver? might be really cute. :3 hehe 

3.  Watch a Glass-Blowing Demonstration

From what I've heard, Venice offers some amazing glass-blowing demonstrations.  I've never seen one before so why not take the opportunity to do so while I'm in another country.  Even though its one of my reasons to visit Venice, I'm hoping to make this one more of a sporadic adventure--something that I magically stumble upon rather than something that I plan into my Venice itinerary.

4.  Underwater Train

Need I say more?

5.  To Get Lost...

Venice would be an amazing city to get lost in.  Its one of those cities where its touristy enough to feel comfortable to explore and still be able to make it back in time to catch the next train.  The city is breathtakingly beautiful and although you probably can't swim in the water, its still water and probably one of the closest things I can get to a beach.
