Hi Maria, I love it! That was so much fun to watch. I'm going to have to see that again. Thanks so much for posting it. Have a great evening!

I'm at work (with no sound on my computer) so I can't hear what they are saying! Can't wait to check it out when I get home.
A number of Venetians have talked politics to me; they are always relieved to hear that I'm not a Bush supporter. Last year, I saw a wall of graffiti in Venice; most of it was unreadable but clear as could be, I saw the words "George Bush = Gangster." I had to agree.

Oh my gosh, that is too wonderful. I am cracking up. I wasn't expecting "Volare"!
If you see those guys in Venice, give them a big kiss from all of us!

Girasoli, Kathy and Annie,
I love this video so much I've been playing it to everyone that comes to my house.
I think I'm going to buy a few Obama T-shirts and find a group of willing gondoliers and have a Gondola Team Obama. Maybe this time I'll get to ride on a gondola. :-) I'll have to enlist Anne to help me with this little idea.
I'll do my best to try to find the guys on the video.

Hi Maria, a Gondola Team Obama serenade down the Grand Canal would be so awesome! Somehow, I knew Anne would be on board!:)
And a video tape would be very cool! That'll be so much fun!

You guys could have a lot of fun with Obama T-shirts and gondoliers in Venice!
I think those guys should do a sequel to the tune of "That's Amore"....
"That's Obama!"

Hi Maria, I wanted to give you an FYI. Colleen on St posted that she found the "On the Road Again Spain" show posted on her PBS station the first week in October. I checked my station and sure enough I found the Madrid episode airing on 10/5/08 at 6pm. Her station is airing Galicia as well (my station isn't). Hope you can catch a couple of shows before you leave for Venice.
