THE GUIDE TO THE STARS
Carnival in Venice is in full swing right now (Feb. 28) and the masked crowd will evaporate on ash Wednesday (March 9), as the Carnival in Trinidad and Tobago.
We missed both, one regretfully and one willingly.
We did not miss the opportunity to open our way the carnival in Venice and as usual we did it in style, with a guide, not "a" guide but someone that will reveal to you the inner secrets, history and real facts about Venice.
Not the usual mambo jumbo that any guide will tell you but details and history searched and studied with the passion of someone that loves to discover the origin and roots of an event, a fact of history an architectural style and also the reason of a certain legend.
I guess that's why He is the Guide to the Stars, for real and the guide to people who prefer to stay low profile when they come to Venice.
Try to book him for a tour you will never but never find through the usual tourist booking channels.

Do not expect to bargain. Quality has its price (and it's not water).
I suggest a visit to the "Gheto" (the Jewish Quarter of Venice). Amazing stories of an Amazing people.
To eat, of course our favorite: "AL Gislon", calle della Bissa, close to Ponte di Rialto
A classic: "Frittura mista di pesce and a piece of Polenta" with a Bianchetto (white wine) but the choice is sublime and vast.
So keep on going and indulge.
SOMEONE IS HOME
Captain PEA overcoming the Gondolas.
Now. this is "ARRIVING TO VENICE".
Go figure: Museo d'arte Contemporanea dei Magazzini del Sale by Mr. Pinault
(who knows, knows) but it was closed, it opens the 4th of April 2011.
Carnival comes with FRITTELLE. Ask for them: Veneziana o con Zabaione
A rest after all that walking in freezing cold
The energy be with you
