Scenery - Feb 11 - 13, Asiago + Venice
So we got into Asiago and hung out before heading to Venice. But in the mean time, I discovered this new Illy Coffee Drink, which is like a cafe latte, but it has chocolate in it .... VERY good.
Went to my favourite restaurant in Asiago.
Toured around and enjoyed the sites.
Here's the rink where JP plays ... it was public skating that day.
Bar Europa ... a kinda ski bum hang out, right in the centre of the city.
This is the foyer leading from City Hall.
Apparently - as it was suggested to me, this is "my kinda car" ...
Got to hang out with Luca.
View down the mountain
Vicenza ... Frankie @ Palladio's Basilica.
Venice
Love the train station!
Here's a sample of one of 127 'vertebrae' from a bridge proposal by Spanish Architect + Engineer, Santiago Calatrava, this is for up the road somewhere ....
The Peggy Guggenheim
Venice Shots
This was the most disappointing thing I'd seen on the whole trip ... this is what has become of the Olivetti Showroom. They're shucking paintings now ... instead of the pure monument to architecture that it once was. Apparently, they simply got sick of architects going there to photograph it - which they never allowed (and still don't) ...
The Rialto
Back to the Train Station and then back to Asiago.
