About this ebook
Kathleen went to Venice with a goal and a plan. The goal was to write about the lives of a cliched group of men, the gondoliers. The plan included a camera, a notebook, and the perseverance of a serious journalist. But sometimes plans must change.
She soon found that a journalist's attitude didn't fly, and a single woman alone in Venice didn't go unnoticed. Changing her approach, she fell in with the flirtations, jokes, and carefree outlook of these men who occasionally offered small jewels of information and insight (usually while trying to woo her).
From skinny dipping off a gondola under the full moon to sharing watermelon and prosecco with a crowd of stripe-shirted gondoliers, Free Gondola Ride takes the reader on a summer full of adventures and beautiful moments.
