Hey Dave!
So can you imagine that Sophie the daughter of a friend from Evans Head, came to visit me in Venice.
Yesterday we had a great evening and this morning I had to wake up early ‘cause I had a commitment with a Norwegian novelist. He is writing a novel about somebody escaping from an island in the lagoon of Venice with a gondola, so he had to check out if for somebody was possible to do it without knowing anything about a gondola before the moment of the escape. I took him out on my gondola this morning at 8 for some research and now I’m back. I took these pics on the trip
