Out and About in Venice


I can't tell you how much I love Venice!
I never tire of roaming along its canals and narrow passageways.  
Here are some photos I took while wandering last fall.

Note:  Somehow earlier this evening I accidentally published an unfinished post I am working on.
It was full of mistakes and cut and pastes, so I quickly took it down when I realized what had happened.  My apologies if you saw it.  Thanks for leaving kind comments, Jean and Alex.  They'll probably repost when I finish it.

Venice and its Gondoliers

Whenever I hear the word Venice, my mind leaps
to gondoliers and their graceful gondolas gliding over its myriad canals.

Normally, this position is only filled ten months of the year,
and they rarely have supervising principals for the summer schools.

God willing, I'll take hundreds more.
Venice is magical, especially on a foggy morning.
