The Serene Republic

Riding on the Alilaguna Ferry to Venice, from Marco Polo Airport.


In the heart of San Marco.


Hot chocolate and cappuccino at Cafe Flore, on the Piazza San Marco.


Beautiful details everywhere!


One of my favorite dishes: spaghetti with clams.


Our first evening. Seeing the lights strung the entire length of the street had the effect of lifting my heart, like pre-Christmas.


Our wooden headboard. A carved angel's head, and inlaid mother-of-pearl.


The boys running through one of the campos. They heard a dog barking around the alley. It was probably a fierce shihtzu.


Heading across the Accademia Bridge, over the Grand Canal.


Trying on masks as Ca' Macana.


Spaghetti with squid cooked in its own ink. Salty. Eating it leaves your mouth black.


What a serene scene.
