I too went to Venice two years ago. I rented an apartment for a week. The canal below one of our windows overlooked a narrow canal that was rarely used except in the late afternoon when one gondolier regularly tied up his craft and took a siesta. And like you, I never rode in one. I had more fun investing in wine and drinking in on the quaysides as the tourists floated by. So, little keychain, I will send you on your way soon. I picked you up in cache on the northwest perimeter of Milwaukee's bedroom communities. I will be sure to drop you on a thoroughfare, such as an interstate, so you can get some traction.
