Thanks, Janet - there will also be "acqua alta" on the 14th and 15th - this is the time of the new moon. As those of us who live near the coast know, high tides are higher around the time of the full moon and new moon - off to WalMart to get some high boots - ! Looking forward to meeting everyone - !

Hello all. Don't know if you have been following this, but Venice experienced some unusually high levels of "acqua alta" last week - it overran some of the wooden walkways used to get around the lower-lying areas. That did it - I decided to pack my high rubber boots. Look forward to meeting you all on Friday.

Hi to all - a very interesting non-fiction book about Venice is The City of Falling Angels by John Berendt. About the water taxi, I expect several of us will have the very early Air France flight going back to Paris - Water taxi will be quicker and easier . . . !

I'm Mignon Adams from Philadelphia. This is my first solo Road Scholar trip and I'm looking forward to Venice. Anyone else reading the Donna Leon books?

I have read ALL the Brunetti mysteries. Wish I had time to read them all again. I am going on a Brunetti tour that I found on the internet that says it is approved by Donna Leon.

I've only read 7. Trying to work my way from the beginning. I just saw the tour on the Internet. If you'd like company on the tour, let me know.
