Venezia


how does one begin to descrive venice?

*venice is magic.

1,000 years ago the locals in this part of italy were threatened to be taken over the babarians from the north. their solution was simple: flee to the marshy areas in the ocean. this solution gave birth to what we now know as Venice, city of canals. so somehow the peoples managed to create a city in the most horrible terrain ever. it really is like magic. Magic always has an audience, unfortunetly these days that is all there is - an audience. the current conditions have forced the locals out of the islands and into main land. all that remains is a disneyland, a place for the tourist. nevertheless, venice remains beautiful; so just like disneyland, you've got to go at least once!

Venice is a trip. Literally, it reminded me of what an acid trip would be like. With all of the carnival paraphernalia...the masks with the birds beaks...yikes!! I enjoyed the city for three or four days and then became increadily uncomfortable in it, very claustraphobic. I tell you what the best thing about Venice was, we escaped the tourists one evening and spent the night wandering around the Jewish Ghetto. Popping in and out of hole in the wall bars eating and drinking some very unusual foods. At one point in time we walked into a pub that was hosting a private batmizvah...no one spoke English but they let us join in a song and dance and gave us something to drink before we moved on....
