Bruce & June on the Grand Canal

Two young Republicans in Venice !

So much to see here, got roped into the requisite guided tour of the Murano glass factory and taken to the SHOWROOM where Marcello or Massimo or whomever, stuck like glue,hoping we would buy a chandelier for 25,000 Euros.
We settled for two garnet and gold coloured wine glasses in custom satin lined box for E250 .

C'est la vie en La Serenissima !

La Bocca della Verita

Rome, May 2003
Roman Honeymoon, stayed at the Hotel Imperiale, Via Barberini, just off Via Veneto, great location, saw Pope John Paul II, had an 'audience' with him and thousands of our closest friends !

Two plus years later, we await the adoption of our daughter from China! Still 6 to 8 months away.
