Tourist Go Home

 And I guess that would include me. I snapped this on a seemingly quiet little alleyway in Venice on the November trip. Truthfully, I can't blame the Venetians. Every year Venice has around twenty million tourists, which is a staggering figure, especially if you take into account that there aren't that many people who actually live in in the city on a regular basis. As I think I said elsewhere, if Venice sent me a note and wanted to thank me for being a good visitor by giving me a free trip to the city in July I think I'd say no.

I maybe this is one of the reasons (one of the many reasons) why I find myself drawn to locations such as Namibia or Yemen.
