Heading To Florence

We’re in Venice – it’s stinking hot here, but we’re having a great time. We finally made it to the Santa Maria Gloriosa church this morning. It’s only taken us three trips to Venice to hit one of it’s major attractions, and it was worth it. The mausoleums of the artists Titian and Canova are in there, and they are incredibly impressive. The enormous sleeping winged lion in front of the entrance to Canova’s mausoleum, and the huge black marble slaves holding up the artifice of one of the Doge’s mausoleum were worth the price of entry. (Not to mention the black marble life-size sculptures of mummified screaming skeletons as harbingers of death… it’s enough to scare anybody into repenting.)
Hiking In Innsbruck

Hey!
We’ve been having a great time hiking in the Alps for the last few days. It poured rain for the first two days we were here, but we went hiking anyways – it turned out well, as we met some great new people and renewed some friendships with some other summer hike regulars.
