Wow - it'll be pretty hard to capture Venice in words, was quite a distinctive experience.... had a fun train ride there from Rome in the morning, got trapped in a car with a pack of roudy soccer fan teenagers, even the conductor wouldn't come through, the boy next to me was not a part of the group though, we ended up talking for a few hours.... stereotyped Roman physically, broken nose curly hair, quiet and nice and european... should try to talk to more people from here instead of stereotyping. Fun to meet a nice Roman though, the males in the city had seemed to be slightly intentional in their stares. Walk out of the train station right onto the large canal, a long time of flaneurie through the 5-foot wide streets inturupted by canals with civil little bridges, most not as big as this one... beautiful sunshine, slightly decaying plaster buildings in a hopefully authentic not resin-coated way. the 'tourist way' was packed and i tried in large part to avoid it...
