ReplyDeleteI Stumbled on your site and I read some posts. All amazing !!! Venice is certainly wonderful!! I'm still visiting Venice often and you described it very well. My favorite thing to do in Venice is escaping the tourism crowd. Getting lost in the unknown alleys or taking a tour to the other islands in the lagoon. I'd like to visit your blog again. Thanks... Rudmer
