I'm in Venice with my mother and two brothers. The rain has been falling, and is due to fall most of tomorrow too. That's not keeping us inside though.
Besides, you can get some really cool reflections in these wet streets.
It is also the Biennale right now, which means there are some really amazing art installations in the city. Above is my favourite. Seriously awe inspiring.
The evenings, walking around, are up there in my favourite times too. The photo below was taken just a minute or so from where we are staying, which is off the beaten track, quiet, and brilliant. Except the church bells at 0700, and 0730, and 0800...
I've always loved Venice, and have been lucky to have visited a good number of times, independently and when I worked at sea. It's so good to be back.
Sunday is supposed to be sunny though. This would be good, because here's what my feet look like after a day in the rain wearing my red shoes.

We are going to Venice in September for 5 days. We have visited for a day before, I'm so excited to go again!
ReplyDeleteThe pink feet are worth it! So glad you're having a great time! Jxo
ReplyDeleteohh venice. looks fab.
ReplyDeleteDear Susan, I'm so happy for you to be there with your family! Everything looks fantastic and exciting! x Teje
ReplyDeleteI love Venice too! Have fun there!
ReplyDeleteI have great memories of You, Francine and I on our one day visit there in 1988. Gondola ride, terrible pizza for lunch, a lot of walking, great dinner with the band playing in the square and relaxing at the end of the day on the steps to the train station waiting for the overnighter to Strasbourg.
ReplyDeleteWell I am so jealous I am glad you got mental feet as payback!!!
ReplyDeletePS have you actually seen your husband this year, or does he have to book a faraway place to meet up with you xxxx
So glad the rain isn't spoiling your lovely trip x
ReplyDeleteIt looks so wonderful (aside from your poor feet- which Im hoping is temporary until you give them a bit of a scrub ) I'm a bit green with envy here . Never been to Venice and it looks amazing even with the rain!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your Mum!
Haha - lovely toes! Are you hoping for sun so you can wear sandals to show them off? My brother did an installation at the biennale a couple of years ago, having small children meant it was impossible to wangle a trip to visit him. Looking forward to more photo's.
ReplyDeletelove the tootsies. Say hello to Venice for me, one of my favourite cities. x
ReplyDeleteGlad you're having a good time...although I think you're back now!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to Venice. Your photos are inspiring me to do something about that......
