Carnivale in Venice

I got back from Venice Monday after going to Carnivale.  It's basically their mardi gras and we had a blast.  Everyone wears masks and people dress up in full costumes.  Definitely different than mardi gras in the states. This next weekend we are going skiing with our program in the Alps. I am so excited to ski - I havn't been in years. I posted pictures on the Flickr website and I hope all is well in the USA. Love, Michael
