Beautiful Decay






When I finally arrived in Venice, I was blown away by the city's charm. I'd heard that it was beautiful, but I had no idea what kind of beauty was there. I have always loved old buildings, as I've posted about before, so Venice was Heaven to me. It is so lived in, and so homey... all the buildings are in a state of decay. From the peeling paint on shutters to the crumbling plaster facades and old boats and crooked cobblestone paths, every piece of Venice we explored was another minor heart-attack on my part. I will definitely be making a point to go back to Venice sometime in my life, hopefully for more than a weekend.
