On these blog posts I am not even scratching the surface of all the wonderful sights we saw and the fun we had. If you would like to see more, join in the Needles 'N Fins Facebook page. Many others have posted some of their experiences as well.
Of course, no visit to Italy is complete without a visit to a gelato stand! These two Canadian Cuties (Donna and Jan) illustrate how it is done!
How do you resist reaching in and grabbing a handful of those Lucious grapes on one of our vineyard tours?
As you can see we almost starved!
When we arrived in Venice one of our first tours was of the Doge's Palace and Saint Mark's Basilica. We visited the Palace in the morning, had a fantastic lunch and sailed around the lagoon. So peaceful.
As an aside, I had a difficult time keeping these wild women in line! Oh those men in Italy!
You know, we did work too!
Always pays to come to class!
What is that? Relishes? Starters? Appetizers? NO! It is beads! YAY!
We even recruited the staff to help - hope he did not get into trouble!
We visited so many wonderful things while cruising the Po. We went to Burano and saw unbelievable lace making demonstrations -
And, of course the Rialto Bridge and shopping!
On Murano we say glass blowing demonstrations and could not resist all the lovelies that were offered up for sale - - -
Gondola rides anyone?
We were able to gather together part of our group for a photo but sadly all did not see the notice but there were busy enjoying the free wine and lovely views while we were posing!
Please plan to join us next year on the Stitching Down the Danube stitching cruise. We aim to beat our 50 participants so don't miss out! For more details check out the Facebook Page Needles 'N Fins.
There is so much more to share but I'm running out of time today!
