Crazy days

The weather here in Venice seems to be settling down a little after crazy days of bright sunshine interrupted by clouds and the odd spot of hail. It's no longer stiflingly hot and humid and there seems to be a bit of moderation in the winds, so it's still nice to eat out on the fondamenta in the evenings but you don't feel compelled to drink litres of water in the process just to stay hydrated...

But rather than talking about the weather, I'd like to note that we've enjoyed visits from Happy Paul and Nic, Wim and Michiel and (still here) Renee and Eric. Having that many visitors in two weeks has made life a bit crazy but a lot of fun and it's always appreciated. We've been able to take advantage of the moment to travel around a bit as well as drag, push or cajole people into going to Padova whenever possible. 

Photos up soon, as well as a special Redentore blog by the justifiably verbose Alison Brown.

Ciao, Paul.
