A Venetian Saturday

Downtown Venice farmer's market
Plants for sale at the farmer's market
Fresh vegetables- the corn looked really good
Inside the historic Venice KMI (Kentucky Military Institute) building- I had never been in this building, and it has some neat wooden plank and molding details at the ceiling.
The South Jetty is always a good spot to watch for dolphins. We counted at least 6 of them surfacing 50 yards away. Standing on the rocks, watching the tide come in was so relaxing and peaceful.
Lunch at Cafe Venice- chicken salad on marble rye and sweet potato fries. Yum!
The stack of books I purchased from the public library bookstore. All of them for $5! This satisfied my book craving.
Dinner at Kumo, a Japanese restaurant in Venice we wanted to try. This was the crazy sushi the boys ordered. 
We watched the movie/documentary on Ayrton Senna, the Brazilian Formula One racing driver who was tragically killed in a crash due to possible car malfunctions in 1994. Later, Mom pulled out a photo book from when she and Dad went to F1 races. This photo is actually a different Formula One racing driver, James Hunt, who looks almost exactly like my Dad back in the 1970s. My parents took this photo in 1975, standing this close to the driver and his car in the pits. Awesome.
