(Just after I sent a message saying I probably couldn’t post, I managed to get through. Figures!)

So … just a quick update with no photos.

After we got situated in our room we went out to find the restaurant I’d reserved for Dan’s birthday dinner. It was in a lovely courtyard. The servers were so nice, and the food was delicious. We spent over 2 1/2 hours there, and just had a great time. I’ve already written about the candle, my singing, and bottle of wine for Dan. And THEN the champagne waiting for us in our room. Quite the day for Dan!

I will continue to write here if I can manage to get online, and then when I get to a place with better internet I will add photos. I’ll even post some while here if I can get some to work, but I sure can’t post the number I’ve been posting while we are staying in Venice.

Update … attempting to post the birthday boy pic, and “our” courtyard …
