On our last night in Venice, Kathryn and I
enjoyed our hotel bar's 2 seat patio to have some tea and a nightcap.
This is overlooking the Grand Canal. Very peaceful in the evening.

Say Hello To "The Plague Doctor!
Many people buy t-shirts or other tourist
kitch when on vacation. In Venice, I did something completely different
and purchased this outfit and had it shipped home. Say hello to
"The Plague Doctor! Halloween will never be the same, nor are door to
door salesmen likely ever to come back.
St Marks Square In Venice.
At 6AM this morning there were only about 20
people in St. Marks Square vs the thousands that cram the square during
the day. Just some other photographers, some joggers, and workers
sweeping up the mess from the night before. Here are just a few images.

Our Last Tango In Paris!
Some images we made yesterday during our visits to Napoleon's Tomb, Avenue des Champs-Élysées, Arc de Triomphe and some night shots of the Eiffel Tower.

Alexandre Eiffel's “Victorian Structural Expressionist” Tower.
The Eiffel Tower is such an iconic symbol of Paris, it is challenging to try and make a photo of it that is not simply a cliché. Here are some photos I made yesterday.

She's Crushing It!
Not an iconic shot, but somewhat of a photo op
for me as we happened to be walking by. Although, the Italian
photographer who was lying on the ground giving directions to his
model/wife/significant other as he was attempting to frame the Eiffel
Tower between her legs may have created something iconic. ;)
Paris Is One Place You Can Hide Away!
Explored the Saint-Germain-des-Prés neighborhood in Paris.
Specifically, on my list was to visit and soak up the energy at two
famous cafés, Les Deux Magots and Café de Flore. Both rank
as being among the oldest and most prestigious coffeehouses in Paris,
celebrated for their famous clientele of writers, actors, French
intellectuals and other famous thinkers of the 1940s and 1950s. A
personal thrill for me was to sit between the tables that Hemmingway and
Jean-Paul Sartre routinely sat at.
