  • Mary in a Venitian neighborhood square on a damp morning.
  • College students on the opposite bank of the canal march to class after brushing by us on the bridge. How young and beautiful and vital they all were. I hated them.

  • "Ciao," intoned the tall stranger. "Will you help me, signorina, to memorialize this moment in Venice with a photo?"; and immediately she was his.
  • At this point we were suffering serious "ponte" fatigue having had to haul ourselves across dozens and a fellow tourist our age snapped this for us and then cheerfully said, "Remember when we used to embrace for these pictures?" Yes.
  • Even gondolas need an overhaul. Heavy scent of lacquer.
