A's haikus — week 8
Eight weeks in already!
Day 50 • 24 Oct • Florence
Brolly touts appear
When raindrops fall in Florence.
Later, a rainbow.
Day 51 • 25 Oct • Florence to Venice
5K in the rain,
Lugging luggage and no lunch.
Ah, personal growth.
Day 52 • 26 Oct • Venice
Cheap traghetto or
Ninety Euro gondola?
They both have their charms.
Day 53 • 27 Oct • Venice
Lunch with our new friends
Means squid ink risotto and
Good conversation.
Day 54 • 28 Oct • Venice
Sandwiches and chess,
Like campo and canale,
Go well together.
Day 55 • 29 Oct • Venice to Paris to Blois
Goodbye, Italy!
We love what you gave us but
Still miss what you took.
Day 56 • 30 Oct • Blois
Captain Haddock's home:
Hunting dogs, a boat ride and
Weird pumpkins galore.
