| Rialto Bridge - just down the "street" |
Today, the 27th anniversary of the day that Sam and I met, we arrived in Venice. There were several "marriage moments" (as my sister calls those times when you grit your teeth and choose silence over the many retorts that are possible) but we arrived at the proper vaporetto stop to meet Oriol who showed us our pensione in Venice. It really is breathtaking to imagine trying to find an apartment here without a guide - as Oriol told us, you pay no attention to street names or numbers, you just look around and identify landmarks to find your way back home. Venice is breathtaking - every corner you go around has another beautiful view of some amazing building. We are 2 stops from the Rialto bridge. After a quick dinner of (what else?) pasta, we got back on the water bus and took the Grand Tour - from our San Silvestro stop to the Lido and then all the way back to the Ferrovia (Train station) and then back to our stop. The best seats in town. Tomottow, we have the whole day - I think we might just sit on the vaporetto and go around and around...maybe get off at some point and have pizza, or insalata caprese, which is our current favourite (bocconcini, tomato and basil).

How did we get so lucky?! Real life seems distant and filled with extras. We are filled with ideas about simplifying our lives, redesigning our garden, selling everything...it'll be interesting to see what sticks once we arrive back in our real life...
