venice recap: part 4

I know that the trip recaps are trickling in, but unfortunately real life reared its ugly head and demanded our attention. I will write more about this later, but for now will offer up a brief explanation. While we were in Venice, one of our oldest, both in age years and in time knowing, friends from the village died. His memorial service was Thursday, and Big Jim was asked by D.'s widow to give the eulogy. So forgive us if our hearts and minds have been elsewhere.

But now back to our regularly scheduled programming....

********************************************************************

Although synonymous with Venice, I was not quite prepared for so many gondolas, gondolas, gondolas! Around every corner were more gondolas, gondolas, gondolas and tourists queuing for gondolas, gondolas, gondolas! And the one thing that I did not feel compelled to do while in Venice was ride on one of the gondolas, gondolas, gondolas! I much preferred the high-speed action of our water-taxista, Claudio. However, that did not stop us for taking many, many fotos of the gondolas, gondolas, gondolas. :-)

These gondolas, gondolas, gondolas (and even more f-ing gondolas!) will also be posted in the Venice photo album in the sidebar.

hasta pronto,
