(and Mauro Vianello)
Got lost today. Left the vaporetto (public transport boat) at Ca'Rezzonico. I was so sure I had some kind of inner map of the Dorsoduro area in my head. I had not!
I was hot. I was thirsty. I soon became hungry. And Venezia, with her cafes around every corner suddenly had none to offer me!
I had a small map in my backpack, but I soon figured out I was outside the area shown on the map.
Then, all pof a sudden, almost like out of the blue, I saw a familiar sign. A calle where I've been before, a church, a river, a bridge. Far from where I had believed myself to be.
In Campo S. Polo a small cafe was awaiting me. An inviting table with clothes in deep plum red and playful orange. A cappuccino, a bottle of acqua frizzante and a grande gelato!
I got lost. I found my way back.
It is all about love, isn't it.......

..............by the way, finding my way means to know where to walk to Mauro's shop. I did, and we went out to have lunch together.
Yes, you guessed it. Spaghetti vongole of course.
