Grand Canal, Venice

There is an instant when you walk out of San Lucia railway station, before the chaos of the ticket sellers and the noise hits you. This is the first kiss. The momentary pleasure of the light playing on the Grand Canal. No plans, no commitment, just timelessness. Just you and Venice. Sensory overload, the tastes, the noise all flood in, however to miss quote the movie, you will always have Venice.
