Of Life in Venice

Have you ever been to a place and felt as if the REW button of your life has been pressed for hours, for everything around you suddenly turned old, ancient, full of all the magic of the past.... This is exactly how I felt when I landed in Venice, and landing in venice is different from any landing anywhere on earth (check my next post) I am writing to you now from a city where the word "beautiful" underestimates what you see, a city where the sea embraces you wherever you go, where you hear classical music around every corner, where food is nothing but an enjoyment, and walking is an endless pleasure, where every single building is a work of genius art, a city where there are nomeans of transportations except boats... Venice... La Belissima, that legendary place where Shylok the jew chased the good Antonio to cut a pound of flesh out of his body in Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice, where the unhappy wife Anna stole some weeks of life and spent some happy days with her lover Vronsky in Tolstoy's Anna Carenina, where professor Aschenbach came for a summer holiday and ended up with a disastrous experience in Thomas Mann's Death in Venice... Venice, a legendary icon with 34 museums, the home city of Vivaldi, Marco Polo, Bellini,Albinoni and many great artists of all time... Follow me in this legendary journey in one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen in my whole life To be continued...
