This was a day of transition. We began the day in Venice waiting to get into the basilica
where the outside looks like this
Ahead of us in line were Jane and John
from London, England.
Before we left town, Jane wanted to visit Giorgio Armani
after which we waited at this view
with our bags
for our taxi to come. When he did, the sky was beautiful
leading to an artistic image
as we rode
to the airport where we took the obligatory phone booth picture
and ate ice cream (not gelato) from
Haagen Dazs before heading to the gate
and discovering that our flight was late. Though this didn't seem to bother Suzanne
or Jane
it seemed to make Sarah
impatient. Benjamin
was so intrigued by the dishwasher demonstration that he didn't mind.
After enduring the worst flight (bumpiness comparable to a horrible roller coaster and
worse) that any of us had endured, we found ourselves in Barcelona roaming the Ramblas
where the street people were out in force including the gilded twins
and this clown
who didn't realize he was posing for one of my phone booth pictures along with
this one. This woman
seemed to have the answer to today's question (but we didn't know the question) and
these people
serenaded us past the bird shop booths
to the market
where the fish
was looking good today.
We lasted until dinner time, though we were all tired
