Just as you send this, archeologists have apparently discovered a long, Roman Road beneath Venice Lagoon. Layers of history, as you describe!

I am reading this newsletter while having an espresso sitting in a bar in Venice, my city. I don't know why but your words always make me feel in peace with the world, Patti.

Good morning Patti! Beautiful pictures and thoughts. It must be nice to wander Venice, in July no less, without the crowds. Keep on truckin and see you hopefully in God's country (Big Sur).

Peace & Love

A soul shot…I felt I was there with you and Byron, transported by your visceral insight. 🤍 Grazie Mille

I adore Venice and have been there many times, especially during the Biennale opening days… the admiration began after reading Thomas Mann‘s Death in Venice and later watching Luchino Visconti‘s cinematic interpretation. ♥️

Venice is truly a jewel.💛

Traveling through Italy was surreal, but wonderful. Thank you for drawing us there.
