There are some things in life
we must do at least once.
Venice is one.
We venture to Venice by train.
It is a city like no other.
Haunting. Historic. Old.
Mysterious. Intriguing.
We have a whirlwind guided tour.
The Arts.
The Architecture.
The Alure.
Pam, Dan, Chris and I are
fascinated by the details:
The narrow alleys.
Angular.
And dark.
Well, actually, aphotic.
The bricked corners make us laugh:
(An attempt to stop urinators....)
The unique doorways.
Access for a wine barrel!
The Windows.
1556.
Art.
Awed.
Out of darkness, light.
Awesome clock tower.
1496.
Displays time, moon phase, & Zodiac.
Venetian legend is that it was so beautiful
that the doge had the clockmaker blinded
so that he could not create another to rival it.
Aureate in every aspect.
Moorish architecture:
The articulated Islamic architecture
of North Africa
Amazed by how much
there is to take in.
And then,
we boated.
Of course.
It is an Aquatic city.
With Sally's guide.
In amazement.
Dreams come true.
Like in the movies.
Romantic.
Awesome sights.
Appetites for Anchovies.
We're adventurous
with our seafood.
and our pizza.
I add polka dots to
Pam's shirt.
Oopsie.
More wine please.
Then, we do
what must be done
in Venice.
It was worth every penny.
Once.
And, Venice
is not complete
without a stop
at Harry's Bar
for a Bellini.
Astronomical in cost.
But, we are here, just,
Once.
Venice
A must.
Once.
Its prosecco time.
Chris buys a tee shirt.
Lufthansa pays for it.
We're heading home
to see if we have luggage yet.
