In The Wake Of The Storm

The Mid Atlantic Coast Recovers

I would like to extend a special holiday wish to all of the residents of New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut who endured the unfathomable fury of Hurricane Sandy.

Whether the impact on your life was minor, moderate, or catastrophic, I want you to know that your sacrifices are appreciated and your struggles are not forgotten.

May you and your families find joy and comfort this holiday season despite the extraordinary circumstances.

May you find the strength to endure the hardships that you face.

May you find the resources and the resolve to rebuild your communities in the coming months and years.

I look forward to visiting the stunningly beautiful Jersey Shore and the incomparable Mid Atlantic coastline as soon as the region is open again for business.  The sand and the sun, the food and the adventures that I have come to treasure over the decades will be available once again to all thanks to your dedication and determination.

Thank you and best wishes for a safe and blessed holiday season.

Intimate Venice

Day To Day Life

Venice is one of the great architectural gems of Europe and of all the world.  Colorful, majestic structures uniquely situated in a quiet lagoon on the coast of the Adriatic Sea, canals, bridges, marinas - these are all iconic symbols of the city.

But Venice is also a city of people. Residents. Tourists. Employees and business owners. As they make their way through grand squares and tiny streets they face and overcome obstacles just as we all do in day to day life.

Ready For High Water

On the day that I arrived in Venice, many of the streets were flooded.  Everyone was walking around in boots.  Well, everyone except for those of us unfortunate enough to arrive when the boots were sold out.  We stuck to the high ground until the tide receded.

Of course some residents didn't have to worry about getting their feet wet. They had other means of transportation.

Once on higher ground, one can catch up with the neighbors.
