Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.
Benjamin Franklin


I don't think of myself as a role model. I do try to live in a compassionate, considerate and positive way. The only advice I can offer is to find what you love to do, find the joy in it, and express yourself through your passion.

Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada

1, 2, 3 stripedshirts lol and that's the reason I don't mind that the horizon isn't straight, I would not have wanted that 3rd stripedshirt guide to be cut ;)

@Lorraine: Thanks Lorraine! Maybe it was the rocking of the gondola or maybe the wine....or maybe a little of both... ;-))

Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan

Rather crowded the small canals! I don't think I'd like to be on a boat AND queuing up!
