“In Venice, if you didn’t know where you were going, you usually ended up in the Piazza and since that was always true, maybe it was always where you were going.”
― Losing Venice
I have had Venice on my mind. Our trip there was only a few days but it was so memorable. From enjoying pizza along the Grand Canal, to our walk through the Guggenheim Museum to an evening dessert while listening to live music in Piazza San Marco, it was magical. Last night we watched an amazing episode of PBS’s series Nova concerning the efforts to preserve Venice from the increased flooding due to climate change. It was so informative. It is hard to think of this place crumbling into the sea. The entire show is available on YouTube if you are interested.

It’s a strange place I’ve never been

Love the video. I am not sure I would want to spend an extended visit there, but I did enjoy our short visit. We also went over to Miranda and watched them blow glass. It was a great trip.

I dreamed of a chandelier but we only purchased some trinkets.

A chandelier would cost a lot to ship 💜

Not so much years ago, at least not like now. They were gorgeous and would have been so out of place in our simple home.

That’s sad because it was so informative. It’s probably because it is a U.S. show. Maybe if you search in aYouTube for Nova and Venice there might be a substitute video?

A profound quote. I don’t know much about Venice, but I do know that I don’t want to see it disappear.
