May 5

May 5 –

Happy Cinco De Mayo from VENICE!  Was up early this morning for one of my duties (called sports out – we put out the golf clubs, paddle and table tennis shuffle board and the pins for miniature golf).   I would have been up anyway because we were sailing into Venice.  What a sight!!!  It was a bit brisk, overcast and breezy, but what a sight.  For my Nashville friends imagine a ship about 3-4 times of the General Jackson sailing down the Cumberland – AWEOME!

The views were breathtaking as you could see so many of the waterways and the gondolas (mostly parked) used to navigate them.  Such a unique city.

We rehearsed the show for tonight (RIVER RHAPSODY) and had a couple of meetings after that, so I was able to get off the ship until about 1:45pm and had to be back for a 4:30pm duty, so I only had time to wander around.  So, that’s what I did… wander…  Such a beautiful place to wander and I am looking forward to doing more of that tomorrow.  HOPEFULLY I will have time to do so. 

After the show tonight a few of us are heading to the university district for a night out.
