History of Gondolas<\/a> – Rick Steves<\/p>\n Definition: “The gondola<\/b> is a traditional, flat-bottomed<\/a> Venetian<\/a> rowing<\/a> boat<\/a>, well suited to the conditions of the Venetian lagoon. The rowing oar, which is not fastened to the hull, is used in a sculling<\/a> manner, also acting as the rudder.[1]<\/a><\/sup> For centuries the gondola was the chief means of transportation and most common watercraft within Venice. It is propelled by a gondolier. In modern times the iconic boats still have a role in public transport in the city, serving as traghetti<\/i> (ferries<\/a>) over the Grand Canal. They are also used in special regattas (rowing races) held amongst gondoliers. Their primary role today, however, is to carry tourists on rides at fixed rates.[2]<\/a><\/sup>” (Wikipedia<\/a>)<\/p>\n a cabin on a suspended ski lift.<\/p>\n an open railroad freight car.<\/p>\n Gondola Servizio: Authentic Venetian gondola<\/em> tours on Lake Merritt in Oakland, California at the Lake Chalet Seafood Bar and Grill.<\/span><\/p>\n The Gondola<\/em> Company in Coronado offers romantic Venetian gondola<\/em> rides on San Diego bay, California.<\/span><\/p>\n No trip to Venice \u2014 or The Venetian \u2014 would be complete without a graceful and romantic glide down the Grand Canal in an authentic Venetian gondola<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n Gondola Joe’s Coffee Shop and Cafe<\/p>\n Gondola<\/em> Paradiso, the only place in Ventura County where you can take a Venetian gondola<\/em> cruise. <\/span><\/p>\n Gondolas<\/em> West’s nature over noise, glide along the waterways of the scenic New River and the beautiful canals of Fort Lauderdale in our silent electric boat.<\/span><\/p>\n LaGondola Spaghetti House<\/span><\/p>\n The Sea to Sky Gondola<\/em> is your doorway to year-round outdoor adventure including, hiking, interpretive walks, panoramic views, viewing platforms and the 9000\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Post the direct URL (link) where your drawing, doodle, artwork is posted (e.g. your blog, Flickr) in the comments area of this post.
