One of my favourite places in the world is Venice and I feel privileged to have visited there 9 years ago. With climate change and rising sea levels I’m not sure that I’ll see Venice again.

I decided to look back in my archives to see if I could share some oldies but goodies. From Niagara Falls to Ireland to Venice and everywhere in between from 2012 to 2016.

Today’s number is 137. If you go to your picture file and type in the number a selection of photos should appear. Here’s what came up for me.

I had a great time going through all my old photos from our visit to Italy in 2016.

I think we all appreciate photo challenges that don’t require going outside of our homes during this pandemic. We certainly aren’t travelling to exotic places but we can look back on trips we took in the past. Here are a few of my favourite trips over the last few years.
Venice, Italy
Florence, Italy
Assisi, Italy
Rome, Italy
Prince Edward County
London, England

I know that tourism is good for the economy and that many communities around the world rely heavily on tourism. When possible we try to travel in the off season to avoid large crowds. There are times, however, when that is not possible. One time was the summer our son got married in Italy.
I loved Italy but we did avoid some areas because of the heavy foot traffic from tourists. Most of the places we visited were very popular and the crowds were unavoidable. Two of those places were Venice and Rome. Despite the large number of tourists, we thoroughly enjoyed both cities.

The first thing I think of when I hear the work fake is ‘fake news’. I promise I’m NOT posting any of that. These are reproductions of famous art sculptures and wax dummies to fake Christmas trees.

Of all the places I’ve visited the place I’d like to return to is Venice. I loved everything about it.
