Lost In Venice
We arrived at St. Lucia station on a cold rainy evening. Luckily the vaporetti stop was close by, and we hurried onto the small ferry to be whisked away to our hotel in San Marco. It was a bit of a shock to experience local transportation and way of life so quickly after arriving in town, especially with our luggage in tow. Fortunately shock turned …
Venice and the crush of tourists

I tried hard, but I figured, if you can't beat 'em join 'em so I snuck a ...
My first ever gondola ride!
... perspective, I had the best seat on the gondola!
The gondolier stood behind me facing the bow and rowed with a long wooden pole a forward stroke followed by a compensating backward stroke! He seemed quite comfortable in his own ways and when inquiring if he was going to sing to us a song along the route, he quickly said that he didn’t have any voice left to do ...
