I arrived in Venice just a few days ago and I must tell you that it is just as intriguing as ever. All of the sights, sounds and smells are the same as I remember them to be….exotic, inspiring, otherworldly, medieval, and crowded. This morning I found a moment of peace and reflection in Piazza San Marco. Before the city was fully awake, I sat gazing at the church in the early morning light while sipping an Americano. It was magical.
Below are some photos I’ve taken of my walks throughout San Marco. Please take a moment to enjoy a little sprinkling of Venice…
My days have been packed with many adventures that I can’t wait to tell you about. However, my time is too short to write more now so please do hang in there with me and I promise to tell you all the details in my upcoming posts.
Great photos Susan. Reminds me of when I was there 😀

Oh, now we are waiting with bated breath for the next insalments. 😉 One question, Susan – why an Americano? Why not a proper coffee when in Il Bel Paese? 😉

Ken, I’m glad you are waiting with bated breath:) You won’t be disappointed I promise…I order Americano because I love my large cup of coffee. It’s emotional!

Sure, but why don’t you want to taste the coffee? It is quite depressing when even the cruise ships set their machines to the US taste 😦

Oh but I have. Many times. I just prefer a large coffee. But I get what you are saying and I agree. Coffee will always be Italian no matter what kind it is:)
