When flying across the Alps that evening, I was seeing the beautiful snow caps and take with me a freeze frame in my mind, just how wonderful the world is. And that gives me a sense of awareness, how this journey to Venice would be a different experience than many others. The journey from Weimar took almost 12 hours by it self to reach Venice in the evening, but this time I would bring with me a moment of architect’s soul in me.

Among all touristy places in Europe, my all time favorite would be Venezia. Each time I went there, there were always something I miss out from the last time I was there. May be it was the air that filled with salt or the sound of water from the canals or the gushing winds that blew when we passed on the water, but most certainly it was the architectural sights. Not many cities were built on water that has the high vista quality as my beautiful Venezia.
