Wowee, beautiful. How is Venice faring these days with the sea-level rise? I hope to see it again someday but I’m wondering if it will still be there.

As of last month it was as magnificent as ever. Of course walking around looking up at clocks doesn’t give you a good read on rising sea issues.

Did you get the complete tour? Underneath this opulent municipal building are several levels of dungeons, which are fascinating to see – and complete the picture of the Venetian political system.

The last one, in all its lack of grandness, reminds me of the time when I was a kid and could count on at least one storefront per block having a clock in the window, or at least visible from the window. I didn’t need a watch.
