My third post of the day... sigh.
We had a gondola ride!! The house paid for all the students, our professor, our student assistant, all our house staff and any members of their family they want to bring to go on a gondola ride on Wednesday night following our weekly house dinner. It was lovely. I ended up in the second boat (of four) with Eugene, Chris, Elizabeth, Kayla, Jenny, and our gondolier. We rode down the typical tourist route toward the S Marco area, but it was still lovely. Very beautiful. It was dark out and the air was still and cool. One of the boats had an accordian and a singer. Luckily, they didn't play the entire ride. I find them slightly annoying. We got to spend about 45 minutes on the water. I didn't want the ride to end, but we saw Casa Artom's facade in the distance and knew the ride was over. I think if we got everyone who has stayed at Casa Artom in the past 10 years to donate 5 or 10 dollars, we could get a house gondola. That would be pretty sweet...
