Venice - May 14 - 16, 2026
The most beautiful Venice! "Venice was built on a lake
with soft soil, by hammering millions of water-resistant wooden poles (such as
oak and pine) into the clay layer beneath the muddy floor through a
petrification process that reduces oxygen to the wood from decaying. This
technique began in the 5th century to escape the threat of war, by building a
pile foundation that supported the stone building on top."
Cicchetti are Venice’s version of tapas—small, bite-sized
savory snacks served in traditional local wine bars called bàcari. I would like
to call it Venice's sushi. Cicchetti with salmon on top reminded me with Sushi.
I really enjoyed trying varieties of Cicchetti's toppings.
We went to I Musici Veneziani's concert that played
Vivaldi's Four Seasons.
Vivaldi was born and raised in Venice in the late 17th
century during the Baroque period. After the concert ended, we had a very
serene walk going over bridges passing over the canals back to the hotel.
Midway, we climbed over the Ponte di Rialto (Rialto bridge) to look over the
Grand Canal at night. Stunning views! The night scenery of Venice was
gorgeous. St. Mark's Basilica or Church of Gold is another Masterpiece in
Venice. Seeing the basilica from outside is already beautiful and we
would regret it if we did not get to see the inside. The walls, columns and
floors are made of very beautiful marbles. The ceiling and domes are
decorated with small pieces of colored stones to depict the story of God.
