Venice Day 2
We started our next day in Venice with a visit to San Marco Piazza
where we considered engaging in pigeon chasing and feeding

( they never did ).
On the way to the vaporetto, we passed this construction
and the Bridge of Sighs
We took a lot of boats today with the water looking like this
the houses like this

on the island of Murano where they cook glass in ovens
like this one and children sit around
while their mothers look at glass.
We found a phone booth
on the way to lunch where this waiter
took a picture of all of us
sitting by the canal and we then took our individual pictures

seafood with polenta
spaghetti burro
fettuccine verdura
spaghetti ragu
and insalata mista
while this pigeon watched
Seeing these people on the opposite of the canal
inspired Jane and Benjamin to walk across the bridge
take these pictures of us
and then walk back.
Maybe they had too much
wine?
When we explored the island, we found this glass statue
of the Madonna to protect the port and this set of real Venetian blinds
On the way back, we saw this ambulance
If they don't make it in time, a notice like these is posted
and you are buried on this island
We then walked back to the hotel through alleys as narrow as this
and found this Pokemon display
in one of them.
Our evening excursion began with a visit to San Marco where Jane and Benjamin
bought pigeon food and practiced feeding the pigeons

was hard to get to, but not the tops of these statues
It was also chilly so we bought these sweatshirts from this man
who unfortunately didn't carry Benjamin's size.
Dinner was indoors because it was cold but we were all eager to eat

(best cheese I've ever had) along with the gnocchi
(new shape for us).
We actually used this phone booth
for a call and then took some pictures off the boat on the way home
