Travelog post for: Bob Beeker

It's the first of December, so today we start one of my favourite Christmas traditions: the Advent calendar. Everybody has their own, so we get to see two new pictures everyday.

This is my mentor's calendar. She got it from her mom. It shows some palazzos along the Canal Grande of Venezia:
Palazzo Dario (gothic with polychrome marble decorations, built in 1479),
Palazzo Pisani (17th century),
Ca' d'Oro ("Golden House" of 1440, originally it had a gilded front) and the
Palazzo Contarini (from the second half of the 15th century).
You can see me, Curio and Lady Sirina.

We opened the first door today and saw... Basilica di San Marco as seen from the Piazza San Marco.


The second calendar is one with little angels where one can put a tea-light inside and the light will shine through the pictures.


In the first window there's a snowflake. (In reality one can see the snowflake better and the still closed pictures not as well, as in the photo.)
