“We are forever changed, inspired by Venice and by its way of life, its serenity, and its sense of community. Troubles will visit us in life, as the Acqua Alta visits Venice, but as all Venetians know, the tides have a natural ebb and flow, and life soon returns to normal.
As we learned each time we walked out of our Venetian apartment, it’s not the destination that’s important, it’s the people we meet along the way that make all the difference.
And no road, no calle, no canal seems too long, no tide too high, when friends line the way.”
