A visit to the Venice Mosaic House
LOCAL TRAVEL

It was a beautiful sunshiny day in Venice on March 4 and my daughter, LeAnna, and her husband wanted to surprise me with an outing I would never forget. The Mosaic Tile House tour in Venice took my breath away. Its beauty was unbelievable, and I enjoyed every minute there. We easily spent 1.5 hours touring and visiting the gift store. Cheri Pann and her husband, Gonzalo Duran—both artists—spent 21 years to turn their house into a prized possession. You will enjoy the designs and the atmosphere there. I found it hard to leave.
Tours are on Saturdays only; 12-3 p.m. Reservations are required at mosaictilehouse@mac.com. People 90 years and older get free admission. Admission for adults is $20; senior admission for those 65 years or older is $15; and children 12 and under are free.
You may want to see the house at www.mosaictilehouse.com for further enjoyment. I will always remember this day with my special loving couple and I am thankful for the talents of artists Cheri and Gonzalo.
