This weekend I was able to check off a big one on the Bucket List – I was in Venice for Carnivale to photograph the costumes! I have been fascinated with the masks and historic ensembles that are worn by Venetians and visitors alike, during the Italian version of our Mardi Gras<\/a>. Besides the collage above, I’ve uploaded lots of photos for you to enjoy, so please join my celebration on my photo page<\/a>!<\/p>\n

I always say that travel is the best test of character, and I did have a surprise when I checked into my hotel room. The location was fantastic…very close to San Marco Piazza which is where all the Carnivale action takes place…but my room had a tiny twin bed and was like a broom closet. I inquired about changing rooms, but they said they were fully booked because of the holiday. However my room did have a full bathroom including a tub and a bidet. Ha! So I walked and walked until my feet were about to fall off… came back to take a bath and a long nap. I was out chasing photos and party-goers<\/a> most of the weekend.<\/p>\n

As for the rest of my “working” vacation, I visited a textile factory and a costume atelier…more about that in the near future.<\/p>\n

My last night in Venezia I joined some quilters who had just arrived and were about to embark on a Mediterranean cruise. My table-mates had spent time in Tanzania, and raved about their experiences of the Great Migration and the Serengeti<\/a>. I am so excited to be making this trip on New Years the end of this year, and especially to share it with some of you!<\/p>\n
