I don’t think I desecrated anything here…but it was definately hard not to. Avoid early morning long lines and visit the Pope’s Postal Service and his little postal subway.

Believe it or not, there’s more than one thing to do in this place. Hit up the flower markets and the Van Gogh museum, or if you’re a bit inclined towards the counterculture, enjoy that one thing in the numerous coffeeshops and the marijuana and hemp and hasheesh museum.

The city sparks new bonds between close people without directly touching you, a “hands off” change if you will. Si tu parles français, tu as un bon voyage parce-que les personnage ne dis pas rien concernons les americans. Yes, I know that is contrary to what we typically here around here. But seriously, take time to sit quitely in the cafés and always attempt français, they’ll take you more seriously and treat you with more compassion even if you butcher the language, they just want a little effort and respect.

The unbelievable nightlife is only surpassed by finding yourself unknowingly batheing in the culture of the British isles. Always find time to meander around the isolated squares and allies surrounding southwark.

Venice rarely changes significantly through the passing years, but avoid coming during the flooding season during October. Also, the vaporetto service is a bit confusing at first, as no order seems to be present for the nomenclature of the routes, but following a few days you’ll get around fine. Touristy is often the adjective I hear when most people describe Venice, but retreat to the Lido or backallies away from the places that are the destinations for the tourist guide arrows scribbed on numerous walls( “Venetian directions” – my mother circa three years ago) and peace, true Italian flavor and charm, and the intriguing Venetian tounge are sure to be found in the urban sanctuary of my ancestors.
