Today Mo and I made our way to Venice. What can I say—we arrived and took the water ferry to our hotel which was located RIGHT in the Piazza de San Marco. The scenery was beautiful—each little canal and building making the whole experience more and more surreal, and more and more touristy. Despite the hoards of Americans and cheesy tourist souvenir shops, Venice retains that sense of charm. We arrived mid-afternoon and spent the rest of the day and evening walking around, getting lost, finding our way again, and then getting lost some more.

About Me
- Sarah Louise Galbraith
- Joined at the Hippo is an around-the-world travelogue created by Sarah Louise Galbraith, a photographer from Arizona. Sarah traveled on her own to 33 countries across the world from January 2004 - January 2005 photographing as many hippos in zoos as possible. What for? The photos are being hand-painted onto porcelain dinner service by Royal Copenhagen Porcelain. Juggling a strict itinerary (every four days was a new city ), she hassled taxi drivers, struggled with languages (what's hippo in Mandarin??), quizzed locals and bribed zoo keepers through 101 of the world's best and worst zoos. Her encounters ranged from frightening (hippo attacks in Kyoto and muggings in Warsaw ), to hilarious (meeting with hippo fanatics at the annual Hippolotofus Convention in Seattle). Sarah now works at National Geographic in Washington, D.C.
