Ode to a Broken Umbrealla...
The Backstory...
Kimmy, Beth, and I woke up to a torrential downpour one morning in during our stay in Venice. We still had lots to see, and so packed our bags and headed out the door for the
I´ve done it again...
Once again, I´ve gone about 2 months without an update...Lots has happened over the past few months, so I´ll try to summarize as best I can! I´ll also try to update more regularly over the next
Switzerland Report...
