Here’s a view of a wall of patches at Charlie’s Bar, San Nicolaas, Aruba, DWI.
I like the way the Nikon D850 renders color, especially in an image like this which runs the gamut. (Nikon D850, Nikkor 1.8G)

Hotel Flora, Venice, Italy
Hotel Flora offers a convenient place to stay in Venice, Italy. You’ll be only a few minutes (as in 2 minutes) walk from the water bus stop. With hand luggage, it’s easy, so pack light. Then down a narrow alley, you’ll find the door:
A basic room is all you need here. It’s comfortable and well appointed:
Bathroom was a little small but worked perfectly:
In the lounge on the ground floor, they serve a great breakfast, so go with that option when making your reservation:
And there’s also this tiny bar, where I had a nice drink and some time to sit and chat:
Very friendly and competent service here. They arranged for a water taxi to take me back to the airport and it was spot on time. This is a good value in Venice. Linger and enjoy.
A drink at O’Hara’s, NYC
Kind of strange that for all my wanderings in New York City, I never found myself in O’Hara’s, which is located near the World Trade Center site. At last I stopped in here for a drink.
For all the emergency responders, this place is a site of pilgrimage as it was a refuge on that terrible September day. At present, you’ll find patches and memorabilia posted on the wall from all over the world. The staff is friendly, the drinks reliable. Enjoy, but perhaps with a slightly heavy heart.
