Venice with Dennis & Laurie

Because we were mis-informed and our tour group made some poor decisions during the trip to Venice in July, we did not get to see everything we wanted.  So we took the opportunity when some friends of ours (Dennis Sherman and Laurie Erickson) were in Rome for a conference.  They took the train up and we met them to go Venice.
