Caroline Venezia and Phil - their story

Caroline_Edinburgh posts on here some time. She and Phil moved from Scotland a couple of yeatrs ago, to live in Venice and teach English. Lou and I were lucky to share a few meals with them when we last visited. Phil has been writing a blog, covering everything from acqua alta to people smoking on vaporettos. His blog is called The Venice Project, maybe named for the 1999 movie of the same name. He's now compiled his musings into a book.

Amazon are flogging it. (Hopefully this post won't be flagged as shameless advertising, as Phil and Caroline are good friends).

Caroline I know is one of the nicest most helpful Fodorites around so yes she's practically family!

Congrats to Phil. It's not advertising unless you are receiving a commission for promoting his book rather than sharing a good read on Fodor's Coming soon to Barnes & Noble, perhaps?? Deborah

I saw this yesterday and ordered it instantly. Phil is an excellent writer and the Joneses are living the life I would if I could!

No need to wait until Barnes and Nobel stock it, you can find it on Amazon USA.
