The Rest of the Trip

While not neccesarily in order here are 1/10 of the photos we took. This one is where we went to a really wonderful Vivaldi concert in Venice.
The whole purpose of the trip was to take a gondola ride with someone I really loved. Even though riding the gondola cost an arm and a leg..it was a dream realized.
Beautiful setting for dinner before the concert.
Our guy didn't sing but he showed us the home that "The Italian Job" was filmed.
Our hotel was near the Rialto Bridge.
Our hotel. We had a pretty hard time finding it.
Everything was picturesque.
San Marco Square
Ephasus Turkey where Paul taught and the Apostle John and Mary spent the last of their lives.
The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul. We made a quick trip through since David isn't as much a shopper as Amy and Sally and I. The girls and I spent hours in there.

The Blue Mosque
One of the best parts of the trip was sitting around reading and relaxing.
Dubovnik, Coatia. We thought it was wonderful and charming. We'd like to go back there someday.








Kataloon Greece
Bari, Italy watching babies being baptized.
Medieval Castle in Bari
Our huge cabin on the boat. We had a wonderful time and are so glad we went. Amy gave us a piggy bank with an Italian flag on it and started a trip fund for us to motivate us to go. Calder arranged the flights which went off without a hitch. Greg drove us to the airport and left our car there when we got home. Thanks to everyone for encouraging us to go.
