Today we drove back from Bressanone. We visited two vineyards. The first was built into the hillside of a river valley. The architect showed us around and then we had a wine tasting with The Count.
The second vineyard was blasted into the base of a mountain. Warren described it as Hugh Heffner's house in hell.

Travel Assignment
Travel Assignment:
Your journey to Venice represents an epic, and often exhausting, interface with the same networks – touristic infrastructure, information transmission, movement of bodies, luggage and souls – which we are confronting in Venice – both in general and in the specifics of your sites/strategies.
The following assignment is designed to minimize its logistical intrusion on your voyage, yet maximize your awareness of the specifics OF that voyage.
Starting an hour before your departure from Charlottesville, and concluding one hour after you arrive in Venice, collect:
25 images of those areas of your journey in which photography is permitted (NOT customs or security), which are in some way representative of both your own journey to Venice, and your own developing approach to the city.
10 artifacts of your journey – the ephemeral substance of travel, which include, wrappers, tokens, tickets, receipts, headphones etc. – which are also specifically representative or evocative to you of your travel and ideas about your destination.
Before we meet on Sunday, have these images edited to 10 and available in hard copy. Edit your items to 5. Place these 15 images/items in a sequence that explains your approach and impressions of your journey and arrival. (For the purpose of producing hard copies, you might want to use a disposable camera which you can have developed easily in Venice)
