You don’t walk very far in Venice, or the lagoon islands, without seeing street shrines.
This is one I particularly liked.
A good blog to read, if you are interested in knowing more about some of the shrines and capitelli in Venice is http://www.slowtrav.com/blog/annienc/
Hello World

Oh, that’s terrific! Thank you for telling me about it.
What is on your menu today? I am so impressed by what you are cooking and eating.

Did you know that ‘tonto’ meant dull, silly, or stupid in Italian (and Spanish)?
Tonto was played by Jay Silverheels in the TV series. He was born Harold J. Smith – isn’t that disappointing? The Lone Ranger was the best thing on TV in the late 50s.
Definition of an intellectual: Someone who can hear the William Tell Overture without thinking of the Lone Ranger.
The only information in my head is what I learned before I was 11. Everything else comes off the interweb.

Hello, Other Yvonne. Once the weather cools down in my neck of the woods, I’ll be a bit happier! Is spring showing any signs of poking its nose out, in your area?
