Views of Venice from the Campanile di San Marco

The Campanile di San Marco, the bell tower of St. Mark’s, is one of the most iconic symbols of the city of Venice. Standing at 323 meters tall, the Campanile offers unparalleled views of Venice from the top. For 8 euros, you can easily hop an elevator up to the top and enjoy breathtaking views. The current Campanile was rebuilt in 1913 after it collapsed in 1912, but it is a replica of the one that has stood in this location for nearly 1000 years.

Here are the views you’ll see:

One thing you’ll always see on the table at a NC barbecue spot is a bottle of @texaspetesauces. If you don’t know, this is not a product from Texas but a North Carolina product. My whole life, I have never really seen anybody put anything on their bbq other than Texas Pete. 

Fun fact about me: in the 4th grade in Kernersville NC we had a guy from the Texas Pete family come to speak to my 4th grade class. This would have been 1987 or 88. Must have been great marketing, because I never forgot it. 

Lexington Barbecue is not even on IG as far as I can find but they are world famous and I’m glad I got to stop by last week. Shown here: Chopped bbq plate with red slaw, fries, and hushpuppies. #ncbbq #lexingtonbbq #texaspete #bbq #barbecue
