Costumes of Venice

LynnK sent me a postcard she picked up while in Venice, Italy in October. The front was a photo of costumes worn at the Carnevale di Venezia (Carnival of Venice). I was so enamored by the costumes that Lynn sent me another post card and followed that by emailing this awesome video. What wonderful Italian Art!  

Lynn said, “I thought maybe the Crew might be a attracted to the visual gorgeousness the way I was. It must be an amazing experience to see all these costumes in action!”costume 1

Have you ever seen anything like that in your life?  In my next life I’ll be born knowing everything about my new country, Italy.

P.S. I also have a sneaky suspicion that our LynnK might have some of her own “random” posts now and then.
