A Magical Encounter
The more I blog about Torcello, the more I think of to say (and I’ve got photos galore) so this may keep going for a while. But I’m going to jump ahead to the best part – what happened...
When you get there (Torcello)
When you get to Torcello, the first thing you see is a shrine to Madonna right there at the vaporetto landing. In the distance, you see the campanile of the cathedral. Turn around to see how vast and lonely and...
Burano cat colony
When I was strolling around the island of Burano looking for shrines, I found a little corte filled with cats. These two were not that happy to see me. I barely got this photo before they ran off and disappeared....
The Big Yellow Shrine

Introducing LuLu!
I was a confirmed dog person until this little creature showed up on my back porch about four years ago. She doesn't like churches, Venice, or traveling, by the way....
