Look! Distractions!

But WHY is she painting trim and grouting floors? Why are there super secret meetings with strange people in her home?

WHAT HAS SHE DONE NOW?

All will be answered in good time. For now.. Look! Down there (points downward on the page)! Pictures!


Standing outside outside the Piazza de Roma, near our hotel, on the Grand Canal



Santa Maria della Salute, across the Grand Canal from St. Mark's basilica.


The face of St. Mark's. We arrived after 6pm so the basilica was closed for tours, but we enjoyed roaming around the square and exploring the bell-tower. The tide was out and the square was completely dry.


San Giorgio Maggiore, located on an island in the lagoon near the terminus of the Grand Canal.

Look toward d'Salute, during sunset, from the belltower Campanile di San Marco. The ride to the top of the tower was definitely worth the 8 Euros per person. We were up there at the half hour mark when 2 of the huge bells rang. My ears still hurt....

The afore-mentioned bell tower as seen from below.


Obligatory shot of the Rialto bridge and gondolier
