Well, the movers are here packing up our household goods, and I have finally taken the time to download pics from the Venice/Paris trip with Rachel and Morgan.  Below are some from the Venice stay:

The street to our hotel is near the far end of the Piazza San Marco, where Rachel and Morgan are pictured.  The first day we "got lost" (as advised) on the San Marco side of the Rialto Bridge.  Then several days later we did likewise on the other side, which, as it turns out, was more residential and less touristy.

More later.
