Women rule...

...even in Venice. I've posted a link with this same title about Venice's first-ever woman gondolieri...I've got a terrific post about some fantastic women I've met here - but it's time for dinner and my eyes need a rest. Will get this up as quickly as I can, if not tonight, tomorrow for sure. For now, enjoy Alexandra's story...

We knew there were still a few holdouts to opportunities for women, but I never imagined being a gondoliera was one of them. As for me, I wanted to be the first female thoroughbred jockey, until I hit my way-too-tall adult height in 7th grade. Then I thought I might settle for being a cowboy until it occurred to me that they probably don't take showers every night while out on the range git-alonging those little dogies. Next!
