We hit the Jackpot with Venice!

We were in Lido, and our hotel asked us if we wanted to go to the Morano factory. When we said yes, they sent us a sea limosine; a mahagony silk-lined speedboat.

I always remember Venice because I got two of my most beautiful masterpieces: a large Morano glass fish tank, and a Gandola–both custom-made, and aslo I got a fantastic book, “The Golden Fleece Found” in English, with missing church history, codes that show you how to match history to prophecy, and a blueprint from Solomon’s Temple that allows you to vet any religious doctrine to the original Torah texts.

Thanks Venice; Thanks Morano, and thanks to the website that recommended The Golden Fleece Found–now, my constant travel companion. That book saved my marriage and taught me how to get rid of repeat nightmares also.

Venice is really a miracle city.

A. Combo.

I came across this photo by accident, but ironically, we stayed directly next to this building, but we never could find the name of it. If you know the name of this building and could forward it on to me, that would be tremendous!!

FYI….
Venice was perfect!!
