Continued Journey

We are now in Venice. The streets are busy and the gondola ride was relaxing and fun to have Italian virtuoso singing tunes through the canals. We just came from Lucern, Switzerland--and I fell in love with all the backstreets and hidden markets. We visited a church that kept bees for future honey to raise money for the poor. We enjoyed a spectacular Rhine River Cruise full of Midieval castles and mountains. The gondola (mountain version) ride above Innsbruck was both scary and inspiring. By far we have fallen in love with Amsterdam and Lucern. These reminded us of Oxford and the peacefullness of the villages.

Hi to Paula and Mary Sasa for all of your help and support--thank you.

We head for Pisa and Florence tomorrow (early in the morning). AREVADERCI!
