Where Gondolas Come From

A gondolier Liam met was having a party for his newly christened boat and we somehow managed to join in on the fun. All the food was local Venetian cuisine such as pasta with sardines and tasted unlike anything I had eaten before. The boat shop where the gondolas are created is a sight to behold and felt like peering behind the curtain of an ancient brotherhood as gondoliers have inhabited the city and passed down their trade for over a thousand years.
