lost & found...

another lovely day getting lost in venezia (just a little bit~~)...& finding a new friend...D. & i had the wonderful opportunity to spend our midday with the delightful claudia of message in a bottle.she is a university student studying nearby. i am so glad that she commented on piacere last week, letting us know that she was free today. we ambled around the streetssoaking in the beauty...her english is perfect & she was so patient with my paltry stumbles through italian! D. & i thorougly enjoyed her company & her generous sharing of knowledge.on a different note, some business...if you have emailed me since we arrived & i have not responded, it is because we were having difficulties. it appears i have solved that dilemma. if you were trying to call us, well, that was an issue but D. took care of that one too. please check your email for the update (i hope)! if you work at pender (you know who you are!), D. sends a big 'shout out'!!
