Gorgeous gondolas and mesmerizing puddles

...I just wanted to share with you this batch of glorious, glorious photos taken in France and Italy by The Oregonian (you know who you are!). Aren't they gorgeous, these places? In 48 hours I hope to see many of these places for myself.

Those lovely people in the photos are some of the honorable members of my tribe. For the photos, un milione di grazie, Signor Giorgio aka Tintoretto-Marco Polo de Medici.

I'll be offline from tomorrow until the 21st of September for my annual holiday. See you later!
