At this rate I'll catch up a couple days after we return home..

Too much go, not enough introspection.

I've kept up with geotagging pictures and making sure they're backed up. It's the cleanup, posting to flickr and blogging that's slowing me down.

These would be pictures from our first full day in Venice.

We had a marvelous time chasing down the gondolas. One set had it's own accordian and singer.

Our hotel was in more of a residential area of Venice, with quite a few locals about. Many of them hung out at the bar two doors down for the European Cup Football matches. The television was out in the street and the crowd was quite loud throughout the night.
