Day 8.......RELAXING :)

Doesn't this just look pleasant?  I know its summer now here in BC but in June when we were here we knew the rain was pouring down back at home.  This is a private beach on Lido.  We  read that you could probably get away with sitting on these private beaches without being disturbed.  Well within 5 minutes of sitting on this beautiful beach we were told to go or rent a chair/hut.  These come at a pretty penny so we opted out to find the "public" beach.
This is the beach we ended up on.......no cleaned out sand here!
D and I are headed to the private beach to swim in the water in hopes that not as much garbage is in the Mediterranean Sea.  Well there was a lot less garbage, but swimming with chocolate wrappers and who knows what else.......good things the water felt good against the heat otherwise I wouldn't have been in their.
I love taking photo's of the places we've been.  Just a traditional type picture for me.

After spending time on the beach fully relaxed we thought we would explore a little more around us.  We went to the island of Murano.  They are famous here for glass blowing.  I just loved this piece of art!  Thankfully J took her camera a long.  Thank J!

One last one in Venice :)  In her new Italian dress.
Our last full day spent together in Venice.  Note how nice and brown we look........well as brown as I can be.  D of course looks really brown.

That was our last full day of Venice as well as pictures here.  The next day we leave this beautiful portion of the country.  Hope you've enjoyed the pictures/stories of our Italian trip.  One more day of pictures and travel and we'll be back into real life every day ordinary things we do.

A little bubbly

This was the very first night that I officially slept well.  Finally transitioned over to the Dutch time zone.... Started the day with by filling the stomach with a good Dutch style breakfast.  If you're not Dutch could you guess what it is? With full stomachs we headed out for the day.  It was a rather frightening start down the skinny Dutch little road.  It barely can handle a bike and a car passing each other.  So to our surprise a massive semi truck was barreling down the road.  We pulled over in a pullout but  became trapped between a large truck and the canal. That canal was not looking too pretty for a swim.... Glad we didn't end up going for that swim and the we had no extra rental car bills to pay as the truck nearly missed the sideview mirror.  After safely arriving to the park n' ride we caught the bus.  This is a fantastic system if you're in Holland!  It cost 5 Euro to park the car and ride the bus for up to 5 people! ...

Trips and treasures

A little while ago I put the link back up on my social media page from a blog about Mother's Day.  Although I get very emotional about the day and the upcoming to the day with my precious Mom being in heaven, I do remember that I have the honour of celebrating motherhood and celebrating with other mothers in my life.  I know it can be a difficult day for many in different ways.   My one little guy who hangs out with me a lot gave me a special treat when I was down....how can you not resist his smile, with a card, cup of water and an apple all delivered with that big smile and even bigger heart. Shortly after that day I was given the privilege of going on a much desired field trip with my daughter.  If you know me at all, or even through this blog you know how much I desire the ocean and the wonders of it.  This trip to Salt Spring Islands did not fail me or my wonder of our wonderful creator.  We have so much more to experience from the ocean..... ...

2021

 Turned the calendar to 2021 a while ago and just have not sat down behind the computer to type away in a while.  I just had those summer 2020 blog posts waiting to be completed.  At last that goal was accomplished and I feel like the rest of 2020 went awash......I made a video to summarize our year and felt like that was good enough to complete the year.   I won't say our 2021 had the most marvellous start.  Our family was in isolation and I can't remember what day it was of 24 days being inside our home that we rolled the new year in.  However we were loved upon by many family members and friends over the time of being indoors.  Also what better time in the world to be "stuck" at home as you can get your grocery deliveries and any other shopping done and delivered all within 24 hours.  We did not suffer.  We may have been a little stir crazy at points, but we made the best of it! Building forts hasn't happened in a long time in our house, b...
