Yes, I am finally back from my trip to Venice. I don't know why I couldn't post from there, and I tried a variety of ways but it just wasn't happening.
Although the trip itself was good, I got really sad news when I returned. My brother, Joe, passed away last Friday as he and his wife were flying home from Greece. He was always very healthy and was taken far too soon. I hadn't seen him in 5 years and I regret that. They were taking a cruise that departed from Venice while we were there so we planned a day together before they left. We had a great time together and that is my last memory of him, so it is very special to me. Here are two photos I took while we were together.
