http://theveniceexperience.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
We've moved from Baltimore, Maryland USA to Venice, Italy in pursuit of living our dream! Wednesday, March 25, 2015. Happy Birthday, Venice. Tanti Auguri (Best wishes), Venice! 1594 years ago, on March 25, 421, Venice was founded. The flag of Venice waves proudly with the winged lion, the symbol of Venice, in the center and six "ribbons" of fabric flying along side it, one ribbon representing each of the six districts (sestiere) of Venice. Friday, March 13, 2015. Wanting to "experience" this quaint locat...

We've moved from Baltimore, Maryland USA to Venice, Italy in pursuit of living our dream! Friday, June 12, 2015. Another visit to the doctor, or an ape in Venice. Scuola Grande di San Marco, in Campo San Giovanni e Paolo. Getting myself to Ospedale al Mare was a whole new experience. Vaporetto to Lido, then the bus to Piazzale Rava (Piazzale what? I should have known. Just follow the crowd. Everyone headed to Piazzale Rava is going to Ospedale al Mare. Ospedale al Mare, at Piazzale Rava, Lido. Before lea...

We've moved from Baltimore, Maryland USA to Venice, Italy in pursuit of living our dream! Wednesday, December 31, 2014. New Year's Eve 2014. In a few short hours, we're closing the cover on 2014. I took this photo on the morning of New Year's Day over on the Lido beach, one full year ago. It was a bright sunny morning, the perfect way to inaugurate a brand new year. The highlights were indeed high. Here's the recap:. I started and finished writing a novel. We've made new friends from around the globe.

We've moved from Baltimore, Maryland USA to Venice, Italy in pursuit of living our dream! Wednesday, May 6, 2015. Not quite all quiet on the southern front. Did you notice my title is a little take off on the famous "All Quiet on the Western Front"? I really wanted to use Western in my title too, however, I'm writing about events on the south lagoon here, so I had to do a slight modification. Trying to cut across this canal is not easy, it's always the worst part of our practices. We were quite excited t...

We've moved from Baltimore, Maryland USA to Venice, Italy in pursuit of living our dream! Tuesday, July 7, 2015. It's the dog days of summer here in Venice. I'm talking HOT. VERY HOT. And humid. As much as I love beach time, it's been almost too hot for that too. I've been spending time indoors, trying to keep as cool as possible, doing lots of reading instead. Where I'm going to share some of my favorite little tips and secrets. So here goes. Just across Ponte dei Scudi! So, friends, when in Venice, sec...

We've moved from Baltimore, Maryland USA to Venice, Italy in pursuit of living our dream! Thursday, January 1, 2015. I hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's Eve and that today, the first day of the new year, started off on the right foot for you all. Did everyone eat lentils last night and/or today? And remember to wear some red underwear? One of the women told me it was very invigorating. I was invigorated enough just walking over there and standing watching them in -2 C temps today! I asked back, " ...

We've moved from Baltimore, Maryland USA to Venice, Italy in pursuit of living our dream! Thursday, August 20, 2015. How I learned Italian medical terms.or . More fun and games with the Italian medical system AGAIN! One of my favorite lions in Venice, on the Scuola Grande di San Marco, has nothing to do with the contents of my blog today, but since he graces the front of our wonderful hospital, I thought I ought to use it.

The Venice Experience: My new transportation
http://theveniceexperience.blogspot.com/2015/04/my-new-transportation.html
We've moved from Baltimore, Maryland USA to Venice, Italy in pursuit of living our dream! Sunday, April 19, 2015. I've surprised myself once again, I've gone and done something I didn't think I would ever do. I have been content to use my feet to get me from Point A to Point B -and sometimes C most days, supplementing with the vaporetto depending on where I need to get to. Until we moved to Sant'Elena, I rarely ever went over to the Lido. And if I did, I walked once I arrived there. And, youre right, the...
