Rome, Italy
You can't drive into Venice. You must park, and then take
a boat the rest of the way.
This is a view from the boat as we approach Venice.
On the boat.
A classic shot of Venice, down the Grand Canal.
The bridge overlooking the Grand Canal.
Too footsore to shop. L-R: Gladys, Pam, Chris, Pauline, Norma, Marda.
The cathedral in Venice.
Birds everywhere. Watch where you stand.
Somewhere around here, Jim Hoffman got separated
from the rest of the group, and spent the afternoon
in the world's most romantic city apart from his wife.
The Hoffmans, Hauperts, and Norma shared a gondola.
Blair and Chris in their gondola.
The Burgesses, Lehmans, and Geyers leave shore.
The Hobarts, Dennies, and Buchans shared a gondola which,
most of the way,
rode side-by-side with another gondola. Here, the two gondola pilots stop their
constant
chattering briefly to stoop as they pass under a bridge.
