Mom's Visit: Venezia

老爹說：「都已經是第三次到義大利找女兒，還去威尼斯嗎？」
"It's the third time you visit your dayghter in Italy. Are you still going to Venice?" Dad asked.

當然！美麗的水都百看不厭，加上前兩次行程匆促，說真的也沒有看到什麼該參觀的景點，反正搭火車也不過一個小時，為何不去？
Of course!! It's impossible to be tired of the every changing beauty of Venice. Also, the previous two visits were in such a hurry that my mom didn't really get to see some tourist attractions. After all, it's just an hour of train. So why didn't we go?

讓老公過一天Chinese-free的日子，我決定自己帶著娘去探險。雖然還算常去威尼斯，不過說真的，到目前為止我還是沒有把任何一條路記起來，每次都是靠著方向感走到聖馬可廣場…「你怎麼沒有帶我去上次買玻璃墜子的那家店？」娘這一問起來，我才想到，似乎又轉錯條街，大概是不太可能走回去了…我們兩就這麼在大街小巷閒逛，順著指標往聖馬可廣場前進，真的看到聖馬可教堂的時候，也已經是午飯時間，於是就決定找一家店坐下來吃點午餐。
My mom and I decided to go without the company of my husband, so he could finally enjoy a Chinese-free day. I go to Venice pretty often, but to tell the truth, I still can't remember any name of the streets. All the time, I follow my sense of direction to arrive the San Marco Square. "Why didn't you take me to the shop where I bought glass pendants last time?" My mom asked. No until that moment I didn't realize that I've turned at the wrong corner again. It's impossible to go backward just for that single shop. So we started to wander around, and followed the indication for San Marco Square. When we saw the San Marco Church, it's already time for lunch. We then decided to find a place for some light snack.

用餐完畢，一到總督府（Palazzo Ducale）前面，我們兩就傻了眼，大排長龍的隊伍，讓人看了有點心慌，不知是否應該加入行列…「下次人少一點再進去，既然以後還有機會，就等著下次和老爹一起看吧！」
After we finished our meal, we went to Pallazo Ducale and saw a very long line in front of the entrance. I was a bit worried, not knowing if we should join the queue or not. "We can wait for another occasion. In any case, I will still come here to visit you. We can wait until your dad come next time."

夏季…果然不是參觀威尼斯的好時間。
Summer... is not a good time to visit Venice.
