While
we’re on the subject of Italy, I have to talk about Venice.
Venice
was my favorite city that I got to visit in Italy. Okay, so it smelled like
fish and sewer systems and it was packed with tourists and everything was very
expensive, but it was the most beautiful city I have ever been to. Aside from
the fact that it is positively ancient, it is incredibly intricate. The
history, the art, the museums, the architecture and the people are incredibly
fascinating.
Venice
has a certain magic about it. You can feel it in your bones when you get off
the train and finally get close to the canals. True, the magic stinks of
rotting food, garbage and too many people in too small a place, but magic all
the same.
I
think Venice was the closest I have ever felt to an epiphany. Sadly I had to
leave before I could fully realize whatever idea I was creating. Someday I’m
going to take my mother there.
Challenge
to my Readers:
Some
places don’t feel like they should be real. Visit these incredible places and
see how far the imagination can be stretched.
