A Giggle in Venice
Life can be a giggle.
This happened to me on the day of when I first met my RS group. That day was stormy and rainy. I had already visited the Correr museum on my museum pass but there was also an exhibition of the work of "Leger' on as well. At the time I had decided to postpone going to the Leger in order to save it as a treat for myself should the weather turn. (There was always that threat in the forecast so I was balancing my time between in-door and out-of-door wandering through the magical lanes of Venice.)
However, the perfect time to see it was at hand.
There was quite a crush first thing in the morning and I was patiently waiting in line. There was some (unknown) fuss going on with the family group ahead of me in the line and now at the counter. However, in due course it was my turn.
I went to the nice and very good looking Italian man. (Side note: Why is it that there is such a high percentage of good looking men in Italy?)
I requested a ticket just for the Leger since I had already visited the museum.
The man smiled and said, "You had a museum pass? May I see it?"
I was able to comply with this request. He said, "Then madam I am able to offer you a SUPER SONIC discount on your ticket! Only 4 Euros! "
I thanked him, smiled and turned away. He stopped me in my tracks with a stern, "Madam!" He beckoned me back with a raised and crooked finger.
What had I done? I returned in haste.
He looked at me in the eyes and said, "Signora...always remain so happy!"
Then he smiled and winked and - yes! - made my day!
Bless you flirty Italian men! (Giggle.)
