Three Shots from the Poppa

While there are so many things I love about gondolas, the simple act of rowing a cruise is still one of my "top 3" after so many years. I set out tonight with a goal of giving my passengers the very best experience possible, concentrating on doing every little thing as perfectly as I could.

When you get right down to it, many of us here are, first-and-foremost, gondoliers.
Tonight's cruise was really great.
Was it perfect? Well that's for my passengers to decide, but they seemed to enjoy themselves quite alot - almost as much as I did.

Here are a few photos from the evening:
