Stalked by Dame Judi in Venice















Canals, $30 Bellinis at Harry's Bar, lot's of boats, and secret romantic courtyards, handsome Italians in striped shirts and funny hats guiding gondolas that seem designed by Donatella Versace, and fish baked in a salt dome big as our table.  And Limoncello (not quite in Danny Davito amounts).







Oh, and we saw Dame Judi Dench three times.  I was in total BBC miniseries crush mode, spotting those cheekbones and flipping out- whispering to my companions- "There's Dame Judi Dench!!" , to be met with "What? Who?" Frantically racking my brain for a reference point for my brother and husband I landed out "She plays M in the Bond movies!!" hissed under my breath.  She and her companion had disappeared at this point, but luckily we ran into her an additional number of times.  We decided we would ask her to kindly refrain from following us upon spotting number four, which alas, never happened.
