I think it is AI.. there is something about the crowd movements that looks a bit odd, and the page is run by a tech company that does AI.
Have always liked the idea of visiting Venice during Carnival. 😊

I have been to Venice and ridden on the gondolas. We visited the last place that builds them the ole style, well when we went in the early 90's. It was beautiful! I would visit again one day, if offered the opportunity!!!💛💛💛

Yes, people say it smells and is dirty, that was not our experience in 2003, (we started a cruise there), I definitely would go back, wanted much more time than the day and a half we got.

I don't remember it smelling. When we went to Paris, there was a smell and garbage everywhere, but Venice, was beautiful and remarkable!!! How was your cruise? I am not good with cruises, I get sea sickness. 😎

I was sea sick for 2 weeks on a school cruise in 1978, on a small ship, but the big cruise ships do not move as much. We had one evening of slightly rough seas, and you could hear the waves sounding on the hull.
Having a balcony helped as I was able to get fresh air and see the horizon, and get away from people 😁
We arranged our own cruise not a package - Venice, Athens, Istanbul, Izmir, Pompeii, Monte Carlo, and Barcelona. We got to ride a bus from Pireaus to Athens as the subway was closed for rennovations for the Olympics. Getting back was interesting as we had to find a taxi that was going that way before the ship left port!
Venice and Barcelona were our favorites.
Barcelona runs tour busses you buy your ticket then get on and off as many times as you like in the day. We saw a lot of the city that way.
We took a train to Gerona to get our flight back to the UK, it was certainly an experience!
We were younger then! 🤣🤣

Wow, your school did a school cruise? Pretty cool!!! Our school trip in 9th grade was to Canada to the largest mall at that time, had a water slide and everything in it. And in high school, I did foreign exchange with a girl in Kassel, Germany and to Berlin where we crossed through checkpoint Charlie. Visited a death camp, the Olympic stadium, and the fountains of Kassel.
Your mention brings up memories, TY!!! I needed this this morning!!! Puts a smile on my face!!! 💛
And as far as the sea sickness, I can get it on the huge cruise ships easy enough for some reason, but smaller boats on a choppy lake I seem to do fine with? Anyways, if I am not driving a car, I usually will get car sick, and can't look around at anything. So when I get those car shots on the dragon, I am not driving, but I do get car sick. lol
Ever since visiting Chamonix and the mountain top, I got altitude sickness, my motion sickness seemed to develop.

I had a friend who did the exchange experience also with a German girl, but I think it was in a rural area, I do not recall.
She also did a skiing trip- but I think the cruise was far more exciting. 😊
We had grand experiences back then. I feel sorry for kids today, the teachers do not want the responsibility for fear of lawfare, so their kids lose out.
For example, on one of the days at sea, we did classes to prepare us for the next country, then we had deck games, like deck hockey - using a small cp8l of rope.
In one game one if the boys tried to pick up the rope as someone else was about to hit it... he got a pretty good crack on the head and bled all over... but a couple of stitches in the boat infirmary and some pain killers and he was back at it next day... Can you imagine that scenario today??
I forgot, we also stopped at Santorini, and I rode a donkey up the 199 steps. 😁
It really was an experience of a lifetime.

How incredible, what memories! Crack on the head reminds me of Catholic school, I am not Catholic, but I was put in a private school because of the divorce from my dad, and he was planning to kidnap us and bring us to Puerto Rico (to keep us kids from my mom, very mean spirited). Anyways, the nuns used to crack their pointing sticks on the hands of the kids. I only saw it once or twice. I think I may have gotten it once, as I was sent out into the hall about asking a question about Mother Mary, at least I think it was.
Santorini would be divine for a visit!!! How wonderful!!!
Do you still have pictures? I would love to see some. I am not sure where all the pics are, but I do have some still, have shared in the past a little. I will have to look again for them!

I think I do have pics, they were taken with a really small camera, and, being 14, I did not take many photos, I was so busy standing with my mouth hanging open!
🤣🤣
We were tasked with creating a diary of our trip - I really wish I still had that - but the school kept it as an example of what they wanted kids to produce... I think I put my best pics in that.
We are headed back from Iowa today (I think I mentioned a few months back we were buying a house up there... well, its ours now.) We took my husband's project car up plus some of the things the removers won't take, and had the opportunity to talk to the contractor who is doing our barn rennovation.
We hope to be moved in at the end of April, excited to get the garden started up there, the soil is wonderful compared to our AZ dirt.
So, I will try to post some pics of the cruise when we get home. 😊
