Venice
we ate at this cafe sitting right off the see across from the palace.
it was very nice and the jazz band will play almost anything on request... "play it sam, play as time goes by".
Did i mention that the piano player can improv and harmonize like crazy? holy crap, you give him a song, and he'll immediately come up with the accompaniment and harmony line. we're having bellinis, a peach and champagne cocktail. yummy
that big church in the background is st mark's cathedral (i think), overlooking st. mark's square.. duh
we strolled around venice, it's so much cooler at night and much nicer for walking around
what's this??
look, ghosts!
our tour guide, michael curran
we returned to venice the next morning, it was still hazy, humid, and HOT
first stop, a glass shop, home of famous murano glass.
yummy grapes

birdies!
