Train - Venice to Milan

We got to ride another 'bullet train' on our trip to Milan.


Its kind of funny, but when we crossed the bridge on the lagoon to the mainland and I saw a lot of trees, I realized I hadn't seen many trees at all in Venice.  There was a park area on one side of the main island and Lido and Burano both had trees, but the central part of the city was all stone walks and buildings with lots of flower boxes.  Perhaps the damage that tree roots would cause to drain pipes, water lines, electrical lines and pier supports is a big risk, so trees are rare.
