  two women let me photograph them in the grocery store, called the Co op, they giggled and said something in Italian about being models.

  I made it my mission to photograph as many Venetian dogs as I could, but many times my camera shutter would not function and the best shots seemed illusive. They walk differently over there, sort of sideways like crabs, and they can't be bothered with tourists. The gulls have lower voice than the ones in North Carolina, and they have a second original call that ours don't even do.
 
 
  Markels took us to meet Vittorio on Satuday and she was a wonderful guide through Venice, we had a huge blast, Tori, Amo and Markels were treated to lunch by Vittorio after he gave us a demo.
   
 
 
 
First day of class: Tori, John, Audrie, Sue, Amoret, Markels, John

  One morning I was lucky enough to get to walk with my friend Margaret who is Peggy and we took photos. This is one of her memories of Murano. The mornings were fogy and this captures the feeling of that day. I believe we saw things together I would not have seen alone.
   
   
Friday Piccture Markels took on Sunday, opening cerimonies for Carnival.

Friday ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, some of my friends from Scuola Bubacco are really big dog lovers and they were shocked I had no photos of my dogs on line. so for John Rizzi (yes, THE John Rizzi, the real one of Glassworks ) and Markels Lorini of Diving Cat Studio ~ yes, really her, and she was MY room mate. I know it's hard to believe I got to hang with the famous anyway, for you here are some pictures of my dogs, I'll get better ones later ~ I still feel like I'm on a vaperetto, do you think the whole Island of Murano sways?
