Hello from Venice

Sorry for the delay in updating you. We left the ship on Monday morning. Late Sunday they told us the ship must go to dry dock to be repaired. Sorry to all of you missing the next few cruises on the broken ship.

We took the train to Venice on Monday morning and arrived here in Venice late Monday. We are in a beautiful hotel in Venice accross from St Mark's. We toured Venice yesterday and today we are deciding if we should take a train to Florence. Tomorrow we leave for Paris!!

Venice is beutiful - The whole water transportation thing is cool - Although a bit slow. We went to Murano and showed them the picture of "The Grape Lamp." The man that showed us around remembered them making those grape lamps in the 20's and 30's. They no longer make grape lamps.

ok Erin - I give Venice the edge over Paris in beauty - Based mainly on the water thing. There are also a whole lot of shops here mostly from Glasswork and Masks - We are not sure what the mask thing is all about yet - Carnival perhaps.

Talk to you all soon!!

Hi Scott - Our trip is back on track. All is well so far here in Paris. Venice was awesome - There are a ton of shops. Be sure to check out the Mask and Glass shops. If you go to Murano Island - Be ready for some pretty high prices. In general everything was very expensive in Venice. Have fun!!!
