At last - I have pictures :-) Still no wifi, and at this point I think I'm going to give up and use my local internet cafe and a thumb drive. I probably will check in only every other day or so, but will continue to update.

First things first: here's me in my apartment

And here's the obligatory postcard shot, just to prove I'm really here - the Grand Canal, looking East from the Accademia bridge.

This is the cross street off San Marco, leading to the courtyard where my apt is

Oh, LORD. I looked at that "self in appartment" shot and I thought "EUROPEAN WINDOWS!!!"

I am now homesick for Europe...
