A Day In Venice, 2

Our day of Venice reconnaissance continued...
We had a memorable lunch at this place, enjoying the passing boat show

Another street scene

In a mask store; P knew that her birthday would occur while in Venice so evidently
studied up considerably on the stuff they do here, especially the masks and Murano
glass and gondolas; I'm sure her mom's blog will cover all this (SherouseHouse.com)

Dough art

St. Mark's cathedral had been closed in the morning but we finally got in in
the afternoon, skipping the line by using the acclaimed Rickie Stevie method

This time there was enough light to actually snap a few clandestine pix




Not my favorite church, but the mosaics are truly impressive

"A vast warty bug taking a meditative walk," as Mark Twain said

One of Europe's great squares; P was impressed

Heading back to spend some time wandering the Rialto Bridge district

Byron lived here; usually I can spot the Palazzo Vendramin, where Wagner
died (Death in Venice), but this time I think was on the wrong side of the boat
both coming and going

Grand Canal congestion

The three of us, there
