Getting
lost in Venice is the only place worth going to
Knowing that you have a finite life creates an urgency to
the minutes that you live. Had to go to Venice(once) in the Winter!

Many moons ago the dollar was 870 lire and I was twenty-two, I would have only "Done Venice" in the Summer. In fact, there is no other time to visit Venice, then Winter, without the one day instant tourists, aka, the 80%ers who inhabit the lagoon for less than a day via a cruise ship excursion.
The Venetians on the other hand, have such lovely language for each of the lanes and streets: fondamenta (along a canal), sotoportico (a covered passage), corte (courtyard), riva (a wide fondamenta along the lagoon), calle (street), rio (canal) and campo (square).
Last year this time, I was in VENICE BEACH
