That's Amore'


Venice...what more can I say than..... romance. And yes, our waltzing lessons paid off, Steve did try to waltz with Jayna. That, however, was not very romantic....it was rather pathetic....but he tried! As we took a private water taxi into Venice I do believe that everyone was taken with the history, the beauty, and the Italian romantic ambiance. Our dinner was served in a lovely restaurant complete with entertainment, singing, and the wine flowed....well, except at our family's table. There isn't one of us that likes wine, so the waiters made fun of us and brought out American wine, called "coca-cola". After dinner St Marco's Square was lined with 3-4 orchestras and street artists displaying their paintings. It was a perfect evening. The next morning we got up and spent the entire morning touring Venice - seeing Doges palace, the dungeons and the Bridge of Sighs. After lunch --- shopping and walking the city streets - or should I say canals. The canals were incredible.
