The real traveler meet the real spirit

2010 few hours before 13 leave place to 14 February. Venice - time for Carnival, time for fun, time for love .... Me behind the mask looking for adventure. Dark empty streets, closed bars but desire for entertainment don't let me get back to the hotel. Suddenly behind the closed iron door I heard someone playing guitar .... and that was the sign. Knock two times with my ring and then someone open with curiosity. The owner - nice old man invite me inside. There 2 American girls with 2 typical old venetians playing guitars, singing songs, drinking wine and get fun on a private way. During the night the owner named Dji-Dji show me the restaurant rooms - full with paintings from famous artist who had dinner often there. At this time I understand that I was found the best place ever... very old restaurant, favorite place to many famous actors and artist from all fields. This was definitely my place. The night end with nice walk accompany with many stories about Venice, San Marco and their own childhood on that fabulous island till leave me gently to my hotel. :)

Venice gives me every time a new story but this one had the spirit of the moment and the value of the place and people I meet there. Because there is no great story without interesting meetings.
