Italia!

I just got back from Venice a couple of hours ago... back to Lido di Jesolo, not Canada or England. (of course)
It was amazing! Hot and steamy and crowded and... just amazing. How does one live there? How do we not? I've been to a lot of ancient places. Have felt awe at the sights and wonders, but somehow Venice was very different. Like being on the set of a movie. how can it be real life. How do people REALLY live there? What would it be like to grow up in this place and that be what is normal to you! It's fascinating.
It was so nice being there with family too. Dave, John, and Joy, joined Christina and I in Jesolo and we all travelled there together by water bus. I love that I have people that are really a part of my life, that I could share that with. I already have too many memories that are mine alone. My goodness - I can't even explain to you the blessing. But here are a couple pictures, worth thousands of words!
