~ Gondola ride ~

My first ride in a gondola....after several trips to Venice!

My Venetian friend Matteo has taken me on several trips 

in his boat...through all the tiny canals and it was so 

wonderful.          

I wanted Nathan and Sabrina to experience the views of Venice 

from the waters of the tiny rii.

Sebastiano, our gondoliere was charming...telling us that he was

the third generation of gondolieri in his family.

It really was magical!
