Venice

First and foremost, I'm home. I've been home for about three weeks now. I'm still going to update the blog though!

That said, I suppose I should start this post with an obituary.

Whilst on the ferry taxi to our apartment, tragedy caught up with our group. Abby is currently coming to terms with it. In the Grand Canal our ferry hit some wake from other boats. Abby lost her balance and her backpack knocked into the rail on the ferry. In the mesh compartment of her backpack was her trusty Nalgene. A Nalgene that had been all over the world with her and was covered with (to quote) "once in a lifetime stickers." Well, it hit in such a way that out popped the Nalgene. It took a swan dive of sorts into the canal and slowly floated away as Abby watched in horror.
