Venice Architecture Biennale 2010

The Captain and I made it over to Venice for the Architecture Biennale. Here are a few pics:









The Belgian pavilion was my favorite hands down. It was full of used interiors.


this was a work table surface that sat next to a copy machine


a big foam model of the city in the dutch pavilion

Carnival Time

So The Captain and I went to Venice Carnival this weekend. Some people warned us against it, citing the crowds and the chaos as a deterrent, but I am glad I didn't listen. There was lots to see and hey I'm from New York, I like a little crowd every once in a while.
