      Doesn't everyone take photos while on vacation? So he takes a minute to post something for all who aren't there, so what? Thank you, John and thanks for sharing!

    Do you plan to go to the Bridge of Sighs, once site from the 1979 movie "A Little Romance", Diane Lane's first movie? . Stay hydrated and relax!

    Hugs!

  30. Keep a look out for a Julie Christie with expressionless face standing in a passing gondola - or perhaps a shadow of Dirk Bogarde (Tadzio, Tadzio!).

    The history of gondolas is so interesting. Venice itself sounds so beautiful and this should be an ok time of year though hot. Enjoy it John, you deserve a great trip!!

    It's funny how real places that you've only seen in movies don't seem quite real when you really see them.
