Well‚ it was gatlandburg in mid-july‚ I’d just hit town and my throat was dry‚ Thought i’d stop and have myself a brew. In and old saloon on a street of mud‚ There at a table dealin’ stud‚ Sat the dirty‚ mangy dog that named me sue. He was big and bent and grey and old‚ And i looked at him and my blood ran cold‚ and i said‚ my name is sue! how do you do! Yeah that’s what i told him. Well‚ i hit

Lord Byron called Venice (Venezia) "a fairy city of the heart." La Serenissima‚ "The Most Serene‚" is an improbable cityscape of stone palaces that seem to float on water‚ a place where cats nap on Oriental marble windowsills set in colorful plaster walls.
