Meet Virginia the Wanderlust..... : Venice, Italy

“Il mondo è un bel libro, ma poco serve a chi non lo sa leggere.” (The world is a beautiful book, but of little use to those who do not know how to read) Carlo Goldoni

Ciao bella! Venice, from the surface, is romantic.

I say from the surface, since I never lived there before. There were a couple of rainy days when I was there, but somehow, it brought a wave of romantic nostalgia over me. I let myself get lost in the streets and entwined my imagination with every corner I found.
Embracing myself to the Italian way of life as I order a tomato salad only to find out that it was only tomatoes with olive oil. My friend got the lettuce salad and we exchange half our tomatoes and lettuce to make a salad for each of us. We had some pasta that was delicious as I finished my meal with a small cup of expresso. These are the nuisances that make the trip more interesting, as you become entwined in the city of....la vita buona...
The next couple of days I found a couple of masks that have gone well with decorating my apartment. Even though I had used only a point and shoot camera, I was still able to print some pictures in black and white. Venice has help me complete a couple of things off my bucket list. I always wanted to decorated my apartment with some art pieces or pictures that were made by me. I now have some pictures of Venice in random places in my apartment. I want to come back and use a film camera since I have taken an interest to darkroom room photography. Even better, come back and take art classes in Florence. But for now, I'm still learning how to use my Om-d Em-5 camera that I just bought.
