This is my farewell to Venice shot... I'll be back!	Contrary to the day Venice is very quiet and peaceful at...	Obviously it is well lit too.	You feel very safe exploring its nooks and crannies.	It's side streets.
IMG 3718	IMG 3720	This is where gondolas go to sleep.	San Marco's at night.	The shoppes stay open fairly late.
A new day of bright sunshine!	You take the Water Bus to Burano. This is a nearby dock.	I find the Seagulls around Venice/Murano/Burano are...	This is main street!	Burano is known for its lace. This is one of the shops.
Each family has its own color for their house.	Needless to say we had a nice day.	A side canal.	Burnao was VERY clean.	This was Barbie's house.

This is the Rialto Bridge. It is party central at night.	A view from under the bridge.	A different angle.	A palazzo on the grand canal.	Another with this canal boat parked outside.
These are the water buses.	A dog and his barge.	San Marco Basilica and the bell tower to the right.	The Gondola Garage.	A sleepy side street.
And another.	This is the only way trucks get into the city.	The winged lion is the symbol of Venice.	A palazzo in the middle of town.	Another leaning tower.
Notice the moroccan influenced windows.	And ornate facades.	It was rumored they were lovers, but really they were...	These horses are replicas of the real thing. The real...	These guys ring on the hour.
The symbol of Venice on the tower.	Now this is how to top of a building!	A side view of San Marcos.	The Dodge's palace.	Another side street... canal... whatever in venice.
No cars!	No mopeds!	Every time I see one of these I think of that line from...	There are no leash laws in Venice.	I love a clear blue sky.
Another leaning tower.	This palazzo is on the grand canal.	This basilica is on the grand canal.	You might have guessed that we were taking a tour of the...	A side canal.
A garden on the grand canal.	A nice wide shot of the grand canal.	This sculpture was renently purchased and placed on...	IMG 3551	These guys are getting ready for the upcoming regatta.
This is the grand stand for the regatta. There will be...	When you wake up in the morning in Venice you want to be...	Yes... this is a side street.	And yes people really do take Gondolas all over the place.	A quiet backstreet.
Not all of them are made of water.	I really liked this door handle.	This is one of the over 400 bridges.	A mask shop.	One of the many churches.
Another mask shop.	This side canel leads to the lagoon.	This is the San Marco palazzo on a quiet day. There was...	This is the facade of San Marco.	A better view. The tower on the right is the bell tower.
The top of the bell tower.	We started our visit by going from the hotel to St. Marks...	This is outside the Church (we'll see the church later).	These two gentlemen strike the bell on the hour.	This is some detail on one of the columns.
This is inside the courtyard in St. Marks.	I'm pretty sure this is Hercules.	And this would be Atlas.	I love the carvings on some of the doors.	No this is not my lense. That building is actually...
A typical side street... canal... whatever.	And another.	Make sure you leave from the right door in the morning.	We took a side trip to Murano. This is what a store of...	Another colorful canal.

A cat and her sorcerer, a beautiful dream weaver, an evil voodoo priest, a bunch of man-sized rats, an army of really big bugs, a crazed randy rabbit, some dwarves, dragons and angry three-toed sloths, New York City, the woods of Maine, the sands of Arabia and the mythic lands of Avalon all come together for the wildest most epic adventure you?ve ever read!!!!

The Sorcerer's Song and The Cat's Meow is an author's triumph and a reader's delight... What a wonderful, free-falling storytelling ride to get to the end of a fantasy that's about as close to purrfect as you can get.

M. Wayne Cunningham - ForeWord CLARION Reviews

A well-plotted story with vivid and riveting description of characters and settings, as well as an intense page turning battle, the book is a delight to read.
