Venice - Carnevale, just a few weeks away!

[nebula5]

Life has been very interesting lately. I won't go into details other than that I am now completely unemployed, and I can't seriously start looking for work until we return from Venice (although if you know of something, let me know). And since I hadn't posted for a while, I thought I'd start providing some progress reports.

Sorry about the job loss, I wish you luck...and what's up with Venice? Is there some event you're going to or a vacation (without convention). OH, and have a great time there.

We've romantic honeymoon in Venice. What can I say? Venice is most incredible city on earth and an adventure all the while you are there.

The sea permeates everything in Venice - its in the art, its in the air, you're surrounded by it, the only way to travel anywhere is by boat, because there are no cars (which is fantastic!!) The other thing about Venice is the masks. They're everywhere, of every colour, design, shape and price you could want. And boy are they gorgeous. We went to see a show of the history of the Carnivale, which was great because all the masks and costumes came to life. Carnivale seems like an incredible and surreal time to be in Venice - that is my new aim in life.
Great!!!
