Wedding Video, With Completely Inappropriate Music

Our videographer is Czech and didn't understand the words to the song he attached to this video.  The movie was meant as a quick message to mum.  My mother (77) was not well enough to travel from Victoria, Canada to Prague for the wedding, alas.

The End of Our Pre-Honeymoon

We went to Venice as our 'pre-honeymoon' before going to Prague to get married. Here we're in the water taxi, headed back to the Venice airport just after dawn.

Sleepy in Gozo

We wish we could sleep like this. Sasha does siesta.

Gozo Happy

On the way to Gozo Sasha was continuously saying baba baba. Not Mama, not Papa. She's trying to keep us both happy. She's also standing now, with some assistance. But she's not learned to crawl. She's 7 months and 2 weeks old.

Heading To Gozo

On the ferry to Gozo from Malta. Taking a weekend adventure to the teeny rural island of Gozo, North of Malta in the middle of the Mediterranean.

Guess What

Sasha is gorgeous. We did good. But she could do with a companion.

Coffee and a Poodle

We took in a coffee on our favorite terrace at the Corinthia hotel in Malta and were presented with a balloon poodle for Sasha by the friendly hotel staff. Sasha was ecstatic.
