I could tell it was not somebody's yacht or a cruise ship and thought that I would never find out about it - but now I know!

I fell in love with the city 3 years ago on a family vacation. My mom's side of the family is Italian (Southern), but we don't know if any of our relatives are still in Italy, so it's fun to read about somebody meeting up with their family and learning about their history. <br /><br />In Venice we ran across Fondamenta Lombardo, which was exciting because Lombardo is my mom's maiden name. It was raining and we took the worst photo of the black and white "street" name painted high up on the building. As we ran off I noticed a much prettier plaque on the other side of the canal but wasn't able to take a photo. I hope to return some day and find that little canal. And I hope you get to keep exploring your lineage. It's thrilling to stumble on something, but it must be even better to make real connections.Heathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7956489623554999361.post-45061489652099098532011-02-09T13:37:30.427-05:002011-02-09T13:37:30.427-05:00Yvonne,

They have no consideration, do they! I'm so glad you got to look her over.<br /><br />For you and your knee, I wish it was this time next year, Karen. It's great having you back in the world of blog-dom.<br /><br />Rob, when I was considerably older than your son, and I do mean CONSIDERABLY, I was part of the so-called volunteer crew on a tall ship, for 11 days. It had to be the best and worst experience of my life!

Tell him he must keep a blog the whole month!<br /><br />Therapy is going well,- it's like a full time job, though!! Things are slow going. I have good and bad days, they tell me this is very normal for several months. Every time I have a good day, I am optimistic about the future. Then I have a very painful few days and feel like I've lost ground. Just takes patience! - Kkarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02387141835879842596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7956489623554999361.post-24667198524471661472011-02-08T12:58:30.967-05:002011-02-08T12:58:30.967-05:00Wow, That's the way to sail the seven seas (un...Wow, That's the way to sail the seven seas (unless you get seasick)<br /><br />My 17yo son has just told me he's been selected to crew on a tall ship for a fortnight in October,yeah!<br /><br />K,<br />How's the physio going?<br /><br />I've missed your posts.Rob Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08760906726449844158noreply@blogger.com
