We have been so fortunate to have visited Venice so many times over the years. It has always been for the Biennale, a huge contemporary art exhibition. We love these trips every two years, and spend about two weeks each time.
This year, we decided last minute to take the train up from Umbria and just spend one night. The weather was looking good, and there were two exhibitions that Johnny wanted to see.
Plus...it's Venice, man!
We hopped an early fast train, and were there by 10:30 am. Sweet!
We spent hours walking, eating, seeing art and soaking in the very warm sun. We walked all over at night, staying away from the main tourist areas, which were very crowded.
Next day, we hopped back on the train and were home just after dark.
These are just some photos I thought to share.
Lovely buildings around the area we stayed...
Splender on the Grand Canal...

How a nursery is done in Venice...
Happy to see the amazing installation, 'Support', was still around....
And, boy, oh boy, spring was in the air!
Relaxing between bouts of walking is always a pleasure, especially in a small 'Campo' in Venice.
It was short and sweet. We promised ourselves that we would try to pop up every year, weather permitting.
Big lesson learned...One night is not enough! No matter how many times we've been there!
Grazie, Venezia... A Presto!
