Snapshots of Venetian Splendour #GwOGourmands

Snapshots of Venetian Splendour #GwOGourmands

Venice, as I explain to anyone who asks, is one of those places that makes your heart glow when you think about it. At least it is for me. Where else can you see history preserved in time so much so that Marco Polo and Shakespeare would know their way around the city today if resurrected?

It’s a living museum with its inhabitants observing you as much as you observe them. I tried to tap into the locals rhythm.
Market in the morning. Aperitif in the afternoon. Dinner after 7:30 pm. A slow wander of the streets in between. But you’ll always be a tourist to them. Although, thanks to GowithOh, I was able to experience a bit of what it would be like to live the Venetian lifestyle. In short, it was delicious and filled with wine. Here are some images of my “Instagramed” Venice photos  from late June.

The Frari church only a 15 to 20 minute walk from our Dorsoduro apartment. It is my favourite church in all of Italy!

The much needed daily cafe although this one a little special…more on that soon!

      Thank you Megan! We ate very well, drank plenty of wine and explore until our feet were blissfully sore.

    You’ve managed to capture my favourite city so well with your photos and comments, especially when you refer to it as a living museum which it certainly felt like when we were there in 2011. Gosh, has it really been three years since we were there? 0_o Time to go back!

      Thanks Dale!
      It was interesting returning a second time around. Still lots to see and photograph and there’s always something new going on.
