Here We Are

Today was our first day in Venice, a city of many wonders, diversity, and water, water, everywhere. I think the pictures tell it all, land and water intertwining. Ancient history with a delight of watery colors and changing scenery.
We visited four different Catholic cathedrals, where I prayed, lit candles for Chip, and prayed for guidance, in a place where prayers have been answered for centuries. Later in the day, we watched the Hare Krishnas dance and I joyfully joined in, in praise of the divine, everywhere present. Then, I happily watched the gondolas drift by. We then crossed the Rialto Bridge, drank espresso, and tried on party masks. Who knows what tomorrow will bring?

  2. It looks beautiful! I remember my mother telling me how awesome it was to walk through Italian cities and villages and realize that the buildings she was looking at were almost a thousand years old (in comparison to how we look at a 100 year old home as old). I'm sorry I missed you before you left- give me a call when you are home again. Have a wonderful time! I'm so proud of you for making this journey!
