Yes, I know that I have promised you photos and images from all my travels the last months. And now, with my digital camera out of work it can be a good idea to go back to my travel photos. This first photo is from the entrance of San Girolami, the Palazzi where I and Dagmar stayed during our week in Venice. This is a common entrance for all the flats in the house, and I love it. It took me right back to the Venice I have read about in several books (I have a quite big library of books set in Venice and am still collecting more) and the Venice I am reading about right now from Sarah Dunant's In the Company of the Courtesan.
We rented our flat from Paolo, you can book it yourself from here: http://www.archirent.it/SanGirolamo/S.anGirolamo_n/Sito_ENG_SanGirolamo/index_n.html#Anchor
Dagmar and I made many meals in the flat - I love staying in flats rather than hotels when I travel, and here is a photo from one of our light suppers, or rather a photo from the table made for supper. The ravioli and the tortelini are still in the kitchen.
Walking is a favourite way of spending my travels, and when I am in Venice I walk for hours every day. Last September, when I was there with Terje, he was the master of the and I followed him wherever he said we should go. This time I walked mostly alone, both Dagmar and I enjoy our own company. I used the map the first day, but then decided to just walk and see where my feet took me. And amazingly it didn't take long before I had a quite clear map of Venice in my head. I loved the feeling of knowing the city, and if I from time to time took a wrong turn, Venice is so small that it never takes long before you are back to a place where you have been before. The biggest problems are the blind turns, when a road sudedenly stop when you reach the canal, or a bridge takes you to a closed door.
Well, while you read this I am going to keep on dreaming about you dream city, accompanied by Giuliano Carmignola and his Concerto Veneziano.
