When-You-Gots-Style

I am not really sure why people always say Italians are the best dressed..... mullets, huge sunglasses, and shirts like these make up a large portion of the populations' wardrobe.



But those that know how to dress really do know how to dress I must admit. (not pictured)

Life Goal: Get a Sweet Terrace

We had an amazing view of Venice from our terrace and took advantage having a bottle or two of wine up there while enjoying the sunshine (nice change from clouds and drizzle of London).

Anchors Away... and other boat lingo

After three days in Venice John felt like he had been on enough boats that he could easily handle captaining his own ship (or small vessel)... I still have my doubts however. We took all modes of transportation around the islands from water buses to gondolas.

Gondola ride!!! They had what were like street signs marking which canals were for only gondolas. We heard our gondolier humming a bit under his breath a bit.... but no singing ones though from what we heard.

I started the day off really strong on our way out to Murano and the other islands near Venice.... but just like in CS105 I fell asleep on the way home. Good thing John was able to take a picture just like Sarah and Grady were there in class to write all over my notes and my arms :o)

While not a boat John also took a ride on a lion during our trip.

PIGEONS???

So this was the scene I remember the last time I visited San Marco's in Venice. Disgusting pigeons flying all over people and it was nauseating thinking of all the germs...ick!!!! There were even a few dead ones laying in the middle of the square!

AND THIS TIME..... PIGEON FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!

The whole area was so much more enjoyable to be within and explore without worrying a pigeon would land on your head. I give Venice two thumbs way up for fixing this :o) Plus now those eating at the over priced restaurants along the edges won't lose there lunch either haha :o)
