As mentioned in my last post, my mom came out for a visit. She flew into Frankfurt, Germany, on a Friday and left a week later. Not nearly enough time to do everything I wanted, but plenty of time to catch up and take a quick flight to Venice [only an hour away by plane]. It was beautiful, wonderful, and as anything is with the two of us, quite the adventure.
We stayed in a small town called Mogliano Veneto, which is maybe a 15-20 minute train ride from the island. The first morning, we woke up from a refreshing sleep, walked from our B&B to the train station, and found a farmer's market! I think we could have stayed there all day instead of sight seeing. But, head to Venice we did, and I'm so glad.

In one of the hundreds thousands of alleys, looking up. |

I received my camera back from mom and had at least a dozen pictures of clothes hanging... |
