Night Train to Venice
Sleeper. Some sleep for 3 out of 4 of us. I did it years ago and had to do it again ( Nostalghia ). I reread Death in Venice last summer so had to find something else: I turned off Leskov temporarily and switched over to Eliot's propaganda on Pound (I'm on my way EZ Ton!). Arrived at 6-something a.m. Had breakfast in the station (shared it with the pigeons). Hopped a vaporetto to Bienale. Vanni met us and we walked down Garibaldi. *
