First morning in Venice

This morning we awoke to church bells.  Realising we were in Venice made me smile.  The light here really is incredible with the view outside our window changing each time I look out.  I could happily sit here all day, watching the water traffic go by, then I remember it is Venice and knowing how much there is outside to explore I am keen to get going. Today we are going to look and see if we can find the little glass man from my last trip.  The one with the glass menagerie of insects and birds.  I have a book to give him as a gift - of Australian birds.  A promise I made in 2006.  I am quietly excited. 23.10.2012
