the buildings in venice remind me of grandparents whose children and grandchildren are sucking the life out of them. they all heave a collective sigh of fatigue, waiting to sink into their watery graves. they're like old actors and actresses from silent films, who used to be so beautiful, but are now just tired.
not that i didn't enjoy venice. carrie and i got CLAPPED at by an italian shop owner for trying on carnival masks (apparently you're not supposed to do that, but jesus, i'm not a dog). my face literally burned i was so embarassed, haha.
anyway, we're at a dream palace of a hostel (hot shower with....wait.....wait.....WATER PRESSURE!!!)...also FREE internet and FREE hot breakfast (dream heaven, dream heaven, especially after CAMPING JOLLY in venice)...so I will try to upload pics tonight of the rest of paris and venice, plus the first day of florence. we're here for 3 nights, then cinque terra for 2, then off to see melissa in rome!
ciao ciao.
