Liese and Kim on Tim's iBook,
Liese in her "I love Bob"
(Marley) shirt
While a tan Tim sticks to
the staple of his closet, his beloved Modest
Mouse shirt.
on the boat to Venice proper,
Liese wishes for world peace
first glimpse of the fabled
city from the sea
Liese says "this looks cool!"
in front of St.
Mark's Basilica, the most famous church in Venice
and one of the world's best
examples of Byzantine architecture
vamping outside the Basilica,
which is more than a thousand
years old...
Marcel and the kids, St. Mark's
Piazza
one more time, like all the
other turistas...
standing on some Italian steps
One day Inge, Liese and Kim
went to a local amusement park called Gulliverlandia.
This dune buggy was the closest
Liese got to driving a car in Italy, though Tim drove for real.
The least-scary rollercoaster
Liese has ever been on, lol.
Course, she's been on most
of these.
The park was not geared to
teenagers but Liese liked this ride.
Water rides are always fun,
too.
Now THIS is a teenager's amusement
park...a couch and a stuffed animal.
Liese tries to figure out
Kim's handheld gaming device...
Yes, there was plenty of pizza.
Tim says he didn't eat one
bad meal while he was there,
but both kids were craving
non-Italian food when they got back!
Liese says she still likes
pizza,
but she wants to SHARE the
pie and have a SLICE,
not scarf the whole thing
herself as is de rigeur in Europe.
Working off those pizza calories by
catching those Mediterranean
rays...
Yet another way to travel!
Planes, buses, boats, cars,
and now this contraption!
Pretty girls at dinner...you can't
escape those darn Coke ads anywhere, can you?
They stayed in a very large
apartment on this marina.
