| Laundry day in Venice. |
I saw a different side of
Venice recently. Instead of gondolas, a medieval maritime republic, big crowds, pigeons in San Marco, and lots of Tintoretto, I stayed on the little island of
Giudecca, took the
vaporetto everywhere (even some places I didn't want to go!), and looked at contemporary art. Here’s a photo journal of this slightly different visit....

Palladio Hotel & Spa in Giudecca:
This handsome building was a sixteenth-century convent designed by the great Renaissance architect, Andrea Palladio. |

| Ah, but there must be a gondolier... |
 |
| Evening light silhouettes the famous Venetian skyline. |
 |
| Dusk falls on San Marco, the last rays gilding the mosaics. |
 |
| Certamente! |
