VENICE: CITY OF ROMANCE AND CHARM




vENICE!  I've been waiting to come back here for 34 years.

It was worth the wait.

How does one describe this unique place, with it's charming narrow streets that suddenly bring you into a courtyard that is filled with the ambience of times past juxtaposed with that of  the present.                                                                                                                



Around each corner can be something as simple as an ancient water well which were scattered allover the city in an effort to catch the rain water,



             
     or a Cartier store.

how's this for a sundeck?

For all the peeling of outer walls, odd joins in the cracks between the buildings and areas where the sun probably never gets to, Venice delights and suprises.



I think I could stay here quite a while

ciao
