Incredible blog!
Fantastic, dreamlike prose and incredibly vivid photos! This really seems as if it could be published in the NY or LA Times travel sections.

Thank you!
That's very nice of you to say and we appreciate you reading! We hope we get a chance to read about your Carnival adventure soon! Venice is very nice whether crowded or not and we are really glad we finally got a chance to get here. We really like Italy and would love to do what you do with staying a much longer time here. Maybe one day....Thanks again for following along!!
