Little Souvenirs

As apparently a generation dies away, like my professor Jochen Zellman I can't but remember. For example when we wanted to cross the Canale Grande and all the bridges were very far away and he wasn't that good at walking long distances anymore. So there suddenly appeared that one solution, a sign leading us through narrow places, down dark passages, us wondering if we are lost, when suddenly the scenery opens up and there is the traghetto, a gondola for everyone, cheap and wonderful - and something the two of us now shared.
