The last Hours in Venice...


Today was/is the last day of the Grandma Evand Homeland Trip. Seems like just yesterday we were starting off with brothers Joe & Dave & Queens Beth & Becky. Tonight we pack as we leave in the am, Dave & Becky unpack in Cheyenne & Joe & Beth wind down in Napoli!
In our last hours Buffe and I took the slow boat down the Grand Canel, we actually waited for three boats so we could grab the front seats. The twilight made the colors come alive. You could feel the power and glory of Venice! The stupidity of man came in as we saw the 1st ghetto - Jews forced by the Venetians to live in a few blocks - this in about 1500. But then St Mark's Square, walk thru the streets, over the Acadamia Bridge, then to the last night restaurant for a second meal! Tonight lamb shank in a thyme sauce- superb! Gnochhi in a wine reduction - a trifle strong ...
Love to all!
When you travel bring a little love with you!
