I look forward to meeting colleagues and friends in the 19th Venice Biennale next week. And strolling in Venice's campi and calli, enjoying the light evening breezes, the sound of the bells, the flapping of the waves on the buildings' walls, in this eternal city, never exhausted, always fascinated.

We made it to the top. Church of St Sophia, Monemvasia upper town. Spectacular views. A slippery slope on the way down. Rewarded ourselves with a cool drink at the canoni square!
