Day 12 - Kat's Birthday in Venice



Okay -it's already quarter to twelve, so I'll make this brief....we did everything. The Venice Fish/Produce Market, St. Mark's square, the Guggenheim museum, a neat exhibit that recreated Leonardo DaVinci's many machines from the drawings in his Codexes, lots of wandering lost on canals, a tour of the Grand Canal via Vaporetto (a bus...and a boat). My birthday was busy. We haven't taken a gondala ride, but to be honest, to me it looks kind of like a Disney ride, with the gondolas lined up almost like they were on a cable under the water. We caught lots of interesting moments on film - from ambulance boats, to this workaday delivery, with the driver tossing boxes to the back of the boat, and then him tossing it to the "land."














For anyone following at work, I was busy here in Venice overseeing the delivery of our goods...someone report the old logo box to the Xerox police....It was a beautiful sunny day in a city like no other. A birthday I'll remember forever.
