The view of Florence
All the canals in Venice looked like this...this is a shot off a little foot bridge
Sitting on our balcony overlooking the Grand Canal...we were directly on it. It was an incredible view and we spent a good amount of time on our little balcony!
The three ways of getting around in Venice...a gondola in the front, a water taxi in the middle, and a waterbus in the background. There were no motor vehicles at all, even for the police. Not even any bicycles! Only boats and foot traffic.
This is the picture that was in our room...Dad was quite taken with the expression on her face, and nicknamed her "Betty". We thought perhaps she was plotting an untimely end for an unbearable husband...
On a water-bus in Venice!
Sewing the button back onto my coat. It had been missing for several days before I got around to sewing it back on...pricking my finger many many times in the process. I do not seem to have inherited the sewing ability of my mother and grandmothers.
The liiiitle tiny soda cans on the Lufthansa flight to Paris...they were just too cute for me not to document them. Also, they didn't have ginger ale...they had "lemon bitters" instead. It tasted just like it sounds...once again, silly Europeans. Don't they know how good Vernor's ginger ale is?!
The view of the Alps out of our window on the plane- we flew directly over them to reach Paris. We were at about 30,000 feet, a normal flying altitude, and they reached to almost 25,000 feet. We were fairly close to them! An incredible view.
