My daughter Venice has always wanted to visit the little city in Italy that took her name without asking (that's what she believes, and I will stick to it!), and since I suddenly had some free time in my hands, we decided to embark on a month-long trip to Italy and Greece. We managed to hit most of the usual suspects: Rome, Florence, Pisa, Venice, Athens, Corfu, Mykonos, Santorini, Olympia, etc. and it was a memorable journey for my daughter, my wife and me. I am sure these memories will last a lifetime for us...
