Venice - July 08, 2005

Hi All,

Not much time so this is short. I have to sign up for a particular time slot.

Wed I met up with Linwood's friends who are living on their boat and traveling all over. They are staying in Venice about 2 weeks, at the Sailing Club on Isola Sant'Elena. We had a delightful evening. Tomorrow we are going to the organ recital at the Salute church. It will be nice if I can talk them into staying through next Sat night...the Feast of the Redentore....a big celebration with fireworks, and all the boats gather and party.

Tonight I'm meeting some classmates at 7:30 at the Zattere Vaporetto stop and we're going to dinner (inexpensive, because they are very young with not much money, I think) on the island of Giudecca. Several of them are leaving after this week.

Lately I've been a Venetian.... on our break at 10:50 I go down and stand while I drink my caffe so I can hurry and do a tad of shopping before class picks up at 11:15.

Love to all,

Lynanne
