For Nette's Memento contest. I was touring Italy when the World Trade Center was attacked. I was in Venice a few days after 9-11.

I couldn't afford gondolas, So I bought Carnivale masks- Venice! Mark Halliday 20150309 Image 1

Wish I had been there for Carnivale. I was there just after their regatta, just after 911. Bought some pretty masks which are currently by my bookshelves, and a piece or two of Murano chrystal. Thanks for commenting.
