Stories Collected While Living in France
When in Venice, ride the canals, especially with a guy in a stripe shirt and preferably with a hat with a red ribbon.
Wear a mask, and pose for photos.
Act lost.
Talk to an Italian, no words need…
Just say, "Baci Qui!" and point to your heart.
…when in Venice go with the flow.
lovely, just lovely.
In the summer the gondala fellas (forgot their name) wear lovely white shirts; I have one and love it 😉 Did you purchase a mask?
Your posts on Venice go straight to my heart…..one of the best places on the planet!
Corey,
I just love hanging around with you.
I’ve always thought it sounded fun to ride the gondolas on the canals in Italy! Enjoy…
Your photos are bringing back such fond memories of our visit there. Our daughter met her husband in Venice and they honeymooned there last year. We LOVE Venice!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MORE!
Corey, thank you so much for these posts of Venice. I know I will never travel there, but you have shown me Venice through your eyes and I am in love. Thank you.
WONDERFUL photos Corey, wish I was there! You MUST look up Paolo Conte while in Italy..maybe you can hear him in concert…he is a FABULOUS musician/composer and his music is awesome!! He sings/speaks in both Italian and French
Taking a gondola stirred by a handsome gondolier from one architectural jewel to another, stopping for pastries and coffee, while wearing a mysterious and beautiful mask – hard work, but someone has to do it. Thank you Corey for undertaking this challenge and reporting back to us. 🙂
Looking forward to more.
Did the guy in the striped shirt sing for you? I tried to get our striped shirt guy to sing, but to no avail. Your trip sounds lovely.
Corey, THANK YOU soooooo much for these beautiful photos!
I am soooooo enjoying our ride in the gondolas. The photos of the city are as you said…OMG!! How can ONE city be so entirely and utterly this beautiful???!!!
Please give me MORE!!!
Walking in circles, narrow pathways, only to wind up at a dead end…all at night of course. Have you gotten lost yet? This was my favorite part of Venice.
love the photos – thanks!!
