At the 9/11 memorial
The new World Trade Center.
Nearly all towers lean in Italy. This is Burano, an island next to Venice.
Our favorite was Santorini.
Mykonos. Our third favorite. But only in the afternoon.
So I made it to the Acropolis in Athens. Been there, don't that kind of place. City feels safe, but is ugly, dirty and crowded.
Back to Venice. The Bridge of Sighs is in the right and St Marks is center.

You and Bob look good.
The other places makes you look young :)
A dream trip I probably won't get to make. Thanks for the pictures, though. Glad you had a good time and are back home.
Nice
It was a great trip. I left out the part where my nephew plotted for months with my Indian "nephew" to plan an unbelievable surprise. The first time we went to Venice, my Indian nephew p, Saumil, shocked us by surprising us in Venice and joined us for two days. Last time we went to Italy, he did it again in Manarola with my Indiana neohew assisting. (You have to pay attention to India vs Indiana here).
So this time the two nephews plotted together. It started that we were to take a calendar to an Italian that we met the first trip. When the timing wasn't working, they then plotted to make me think that my Indian nephew was trying to surprise me again. Apparently he was going to be there early afternoon the day we were to board the boat.
We ended up on the boat early and I was texting my Indian nephew that we could meet him earlier but wasn't getting a response. So I texted my Indiana nephew so he could relay the message.
Bob did not really want to get off the ship but I insisted Saumil had specifically routed his trip to surprise us.
But he was late. We hung around the Venice train station and the time was getting late. I'm looking all around and cannot see anyone.
Then suddenly I see my Indiana nephew Brian, not Saumil.
My mind was still trying to figure out the situation and hadn't processed what I was seeing when I saw my sweet cousin Shaver, the ie who lost his wife two years ago.
That's when it dawned on me, they had set me up.....again. Included in the surprise was Shaver's boys and their girlfriends.
It was an epic surprise. Never to be topped.
