Tamara Kvesitadzes - Georgia's Biennale presentation

Nach 2007 wurde die von uns beiden sehr geschätzte Tamara Kvesitadzes zum zweiten Mal von Georgien als Biennale-Beitrag eingeladen. Erneut ein sehr schöner poetisch-philosophischer Beitrag.
(im Bild - leider statisch - eine kinetische Installation, bei der sich die einzelnen Gesichter schmaler und breiter werdend bewegen)

The salad was fine, but the Pasta with vegetables not really

Was just a try (the outside table was nice), but we better return and stick with Osteria alla Staffa.

Sold books and postcards to Acqua Alta bookstore

Luigi from from the very unique Libreria Acqua Alta sold our postcards from 2009 completely out, so he re-ordered all of them and the new ones. Also he loved our book "Venedig - ein Fest" and bought some copies for his German-speaking bookstore-visitors.

A few impressions around us ...

Julian Schnabel stellt auch in Venedig aus ...  LoL

Some very nice new comments 

Good News - Elizabeth is much better 

She will start to eat again on Friday

A Celtic Cat 

A nice surprise at the end of this exhibition day: a group of nice welsh women came in, loved the exhibition and one of them had a celtic cat tatoo.
This could be a reason for me (Georg) to think about it ...
Now I'll walk back  to our B&B, have my GROM-cup  on the way and see, how Elizabeth is doing. 

"Spiderman" Gabriel in action (again)

another very nice comment (italiano) 

so far 33 pages with very good comments about this exhibition !

Sweetening the work ...

Caffe latte e dolci

Elizabeths breakfast 

Selbst in einer Apotheke bekommt man in Italien keinen Magen-Beruhigungstee, als bleibt nur die Chemie. Alles andere als Schwarztee oder Grüner Tee ist auch in Cafes ein Fremdwort

Elizabeth is sick 

Elizabeth had severe stomach problems yesterday (we don t describe the consequences here) which got worse at night. Now in the morning she is feelin still weak but its getting better.
No virus obviousely, but maybe some food/drink combination at lunch (mushroom soup + peach juice + coffee) was wrong for her sensible stomach.
update: after a try in the morning she returned to our B&B and tries to recover there in quietness. Thank you for your 
Our little friends "Spiderman" Gabriel drawing present from yesterday looks now kind of prophetic.

Venezia Misteriosa - A nightly experience ...  

The multicolored illumination (this years theme of the Biennale) of a Palazzo at Canal Grande is the only photoshoot I couldn t resist to do during a fantastic nightride with a gondola (never done before). It was a totally new experience about Venice during our 11th visit to this unique city. Mystically, silent and touching, hardly to describe in words. Grazie mille to our "sponsor" for the invitation 
The other shot (very green) was done during the walk back just a view steps from our B&B.
I added some pics from a calender promotion I found today on display at a newspaper-stand, just a try to give you an idea

Tonight no GROM (queue too long), but a great milkshake 

called SFIZZIOSO, made from Bananas, Dattes, Milk and Cinnamon.
Very healthy and tasted like in 1000 and one Night
