Multi-Sensorial

This afternoon I went to Chioggia, a small fishing village on the edge of Venice's lagoon. As I walked around, I wished that there were a way to share the smell. Everyone is familiar with pictures of Venice. The canals and gondolas are famous. People have even seen what it looks like in winter: gray, foggy, damp. But Venice smells. More in summer than in winter, but still, it has a smell. Chioggia does, too. Chioggia smelled like salt water and fish, which, given its main industry, isn't really surprising.
Maybe I'll write more about this at some point, but it has been on my mind lately that even with multi-media presentations, we still don't have a way to share the way a place smells.
