Venice

It is beautiful but I am not a big fan of humidity and it is ridiculous here. We're going to Murano tomorrow, but the rumour is that it is too hot for anyone to be blowing so, while we will get cool glass, we will not get to see any being made... oh well...
We got to see some good modern art at the Peggy Guggenheim Gallery which was pretty cool although I do not appreciate video art that has a naked guy filling his orifices with petroleum jelly while hanging from a harness in an attempt to seal off his hermetic energy or some sort of craziness like that. It was a month long exhibit, this petroleum jelly guy and some fat corner guy, who like to tape themselves creating the art cause it's the process and ... blah blah blah, didn't like it...
Yup, it's hot here so we're going to go get on a boat to take us down the stagnant water to St. Mark's Square, which we've already seen at night, but we have these boat passes we need to use so we figured we would go again.
Oh, Lake Como was pretty cool but everything was pretty much closed on Sundays and we were only there for the one day. Plus, it wasn't kayak rental season in the town we were in. It was nice to relax.
More to say once we've seen some more stuff. Ciao

I may not know art, but I know what I like. And that ain't it!!!

Surfed the web for sites on Murano, I'm sure your "hands on" experience was way better.

Lake Como sites remind me of being similar to Canada's Lake Louise or Whistler resort possibly.
