venezia (venice)

this is my second time here and if it weren’t so crowded with tourists it would be cast me back in history. But it’s a very beautiful place to visit. Everything is Art.

This was the end of the celebration we missed
A group of Indian tourists chartering a gondola
This is the entrance to the ghetto which is where the Jews were allowed to conduct business freely. The word “ghetto” refers to the garbage dump which was moved to allow the Jews to live here. Now it’s mostly deserted with just a hotel and one shop open Since the young people don’t want to manage a shop. It was somewhat bustling in 2010 but now now only two places were open. The people who live here want to revive it so they will have a festival in a month or so. I wish them luck.

This was the first time I was in San Marco Square when it wasn’t flooded
Black noodles I think we’re colored with squid ink along with the squid rings
A simple breakfast provided by the hotel but sufficient for the morning
A Limoncello spritz
