Back "home" in Calci

We just arrived home from our Venice trip!  We were in Venice for 3 nights and basically in "full tourist mode" the whole time.  We took in all the sights - St Mark's Piazza, the Doge's Palace, "Rigaletto", a tour of the Grand Canal, and we even went on a gondola ride.  (I'll post pics later when I have time.)  When we got "home" we heard the shocking news that a German tourist has been killed in a collision between a vaporetto (water bus) and a gondola.  We had been remarking when we were there about the congestion in the canals, and in fact the accident occurred in exactly the same place that we hired our gondola.  Sad news :-(
