La Biennale di Venezia
Another thing that made the trip even more memorable was the Venice Biennale. Naturally, when I found out (two days before the fact) that we were going, I googled it, checked the articles on The NYT, travel websites, everything. I got an even bigger kick when I realised that we would be there during the [...]

Tight, tight schedule for the next couple of weeks:
To Florence on Thursday for a wedding.
Back again on Sunday.
Finalise details to do with my German course, writing course, etc… all admin-related things.
To Frankfurt/Hamburg (undecided) on Friday to meet up with the folks (oh yes, I do mean The Folks – mine). If I survive this one, [...]
