Well, we’ve been back for a while and it’s been a total whirlwind.  Started our return with a few glorious days in South Florida with our wonderful family.

I had back surgery and am thrilled to report I am now pain free!  No more wheel chairs for me!

There are some photos that just stuck around but I never did post them so what follows (probably 2 posts) will be comprised of those photos.

The EXPO in Milan was quite an experience!

Undulating vertical garden at the USA Pavillon

I took so many photos in Venice!

One more view from our Venice apartment window. What a treat!

Well dressed tourist asking directions from a local. Campo San Barnaba.

The Japan Pavilion at the Biennale was a big favorite.

Rosa Salva window candy. Campo Giovanni e Paolo.

another quiet campo with a bench for us to sit.

I’ll finish the rest of the trip in another post.
