2017
Just over a year ago, we took a month-long trip to Eastern Europe in October — the first stop being three days in Venice, where I had last been the summer after graduating from Berkeley 54 years ago, for about the same length of time. I was amazed how little it seemed to have changed. So, so charming, though there was now an awareness of the gradually rising sea levels, as numerous streets had moveable raised walkways for when the tide was high.
Of course, the food was wonderful, the Italian charm still overflowed, and it was very crowded as the weather was just delightful, and it was also the tail end of the Venice Biennale. So for three days we just ambled, taking it all in, photographing when the mood struck or a sight just had to be captured!
