Another slice of Venice

Typical street scene, ending at one of the many, many canals.
With all of these streets and canals come numerous bridges.
Murph and I love going into the various local neighborhoods. This one is Cannaregio.
Did I mention the bridges?
It was so amazing to watch the resident kids. These three siblings – the boys on roller skates and their little sister towing a scooter – handled the stairs with ease. Even pushing and shoving, as brothers will do, while running up and down the steps with skates on their feet!
You can’t tell from the photo but this neighborhood was jumping on a Friday evening. Restaurants and pubs overflowing with happy people looking forward to the weekend and the squares buzzing with kids playing soccer. When the moms starting calling the kids in for dinner, the game came to an abrupt end. To be continued tomorrow…
We were rewarded with this lovely sunset, drawing our day to a close.
The next day George & Mary joined us when we went to another neighborhood – Castello. We had breakfast in this 1896 greenhouse to begin the day.
Pastries are an Italian “must”!
No caption needed ;-D
Lots of clothes hanging out but this particular towel reminded me of how very much alike we are. After all, who doesn’t love Minnie?
We visited a sculpture park along the way. Check out these “flowers”!
Loved these dancers.
But this was my favorite!
There’s not an abundance of foliage in Venice so this tree lined canal was a welcome sight.
