It was a misty afternoon in the most beautiful city in the world. The gondolas were taking a rest, mainly because no one was venturing out in the rain. My wife and I love to city so much, our oldest daughter was given "Venice" for her middle name!

I talked to HAB911, and he felt that it would probably be OK for the contest. He had a 'wait and see' attitude, so I thought that was good!

was taken in June 2014 while I was walking about specifically looking for photo opportunities that day. My husband had gone to see a museum that was not particularly of interest to me. I have a lot of travel photos like this one where something just catches your eye, you know?

The island is Isola dei Pescatori, across from Stressa.
If you ever have a chance to see the Italian Lake Region, go!

My wife's family rode in them. Probably some of my extended family too. We'll never really know for sure.

My father would go out at night, where they were sometimes parked, and take some food and lots of water.
I have stories!
On the other hand, I hope this gets opened for second admissions. I felt I had to show the box car, but I have one to balance it a little bit, and I would love to be able to put it in.
