-----The Venetian - Magnifico!



Of course, we were crazy about the Venetian, as we were married in Venice in Sept. 1988 and it was great fun to remember that day again as well as our several trips there.

We did not pay for a canal ride on a gondola here, but we sure did after our marriage ceremony. We had hired a gondola and floated through the canals in our wedding finery with Irene holding her bouquet while onlookers clapped!
