Snowstorm in Venice

Friday, November 25th, 2005

I slept much better after turning the thermostat to manual and jacking the temperature up. I also folded the blanket in half to make it thicker. I had the same exact breakfast. I decided that today was time to wear my Under Amour Cold Gear top for the first time since the 19ยบ weather in […]

Wandering Amongst Canals

Thursday, November 24th, 2005

I didn’t sleep too well even though I have a nice hotel room at Allogia Artista. The Kadinsky room with a huge framed print and Ikea lights to be exact. I even had a balcony though not a view. It was really cold and the blankets weren’t thick enough. I had the thermostat set on […]

Venice

Wednesday, November 23rd, 2005

It’s been a lifetime dream of mine to visit “the most serene” city in the world ever since I first saw photographs of it in various photo books and magazines. Originally I figured I was done traveling out of England after Edinburgh, Prague, Paris, and Amsterdam, but I thought about it while I was with […]

All the way to the Bank

Friday, November 11th, 2005

I had an incredible dinner I just had to post. I went to dinner with a friend and his parents at this modern French restaurant called Bank. Spent like 3 hours. I had: the house Merlot, foie gras parfait w/ pear & apple chutney and brioche then mixed game pie and finished with a cafe […]

“Boardeux” on the Rocks

Sunday, November 6th, 2005

I took tour with the group today of the Montmartre area of Paris. Joelle was our guide again but either the Montmartre area isn’t actually that interesting or Joelle is really good at art stuff rather than other histories. I dunno. Again I would have to say that Paris is a city to be painted […]

Paris III

Saturday, November 5th, 2005

This morning morning I got up and took a walk through Cimetiere du Pere Lachaise. The cemetery was humongous and I had no idea where I was going because I was too cheap to buy a map outside. The most striking thing was that people of different ethnicities and religions were buried together in this […]

Paris II

Friday, November 4th, 2005

I didn’t have much time to research Paris so maybe that’s part of the reason I’m not appreciating it. I don’t even have a guide book. I guess all my resources and effort is going towards my Venice trip now. Amsterdam is more of a relax place than photographic destination for me. So back to […]
