The Venice Experiment: A Year of Trial and Error Living Abroad:
"Terrific!
Humorous but quite true. What great writing! My family moved to Germany in the 80's and experienced many of the same difficulties. It was worth it!" |

“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.
