We aim to be travelers rather than tourists, but it's a very fine line between those two positions! <BR/><BR/>Lovely shots of San Marco, it must have been a gorgeous sunrise. And I see the boards are out -- I was there 3 years ago when the tides and the rain intersected, causing a lot of flooding. It was pretty tricky trying to get on and off those boards (and trying to pass others!) I stepped off at one point into knee-deep water!Sandrachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08754417283255849201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4735507205325790090.post-14088266312397754182008-09-07T03:26:00.000+10:002008-09-07T03:26:00.000+10:00A very thoughtful post.
