Grappa
... and voila there is grappa. I reallly do not like it, it is way too strong for me, but it was nice to see anyway. Since it was beginning of winter, they put up a fake ice-skating field in the middle of the square. It was a beautiful, sunny day and the ice-pad felt a little out of place, but the idea is very nice.
On our way home we stopped at cittadella, which is medieval city, that still has the old ...
Looking Through A Window in Time

Apparently this isn’t uncommon as there were wooden platforms setup all around as temporary walkways. They also happened to be completely full ...

... was unusual in
having a transparent dog. Don't miss the room to the right of the
alter (the museum).
At a modern art gallery we enjoy a large bear made of spark plugs. Later
at the San Marco Vallaresso vaporetto stop, we enjoy a globe shaped
art piece called Luna Piena (Full Moon). It is by Judy Harvest
