Back From Venice

 A week ago today we returned from Venice, although, truthfully, it feels like a much longer time ago than that. I'll definitely have a lot to say about the trip, but I'm still unpacking it. One of the reasons why it seems so long ago is that as soon as we returned I heard that my dad was fading badly, which led me to make a mad dash west, only to not make it before he passed away. That will also take a lot of unpacking, as, clearly, he and I had a very complicated relationship. In the short term, anyway, it gives me some comfort to dig into some of the pictures that we snapped while overseas.

This was snapped right outside the Metropole, where we stayed while in Venice. As is often the case with foreign travel, things that almost clumsily iconic have earned their status.
