Venice Part 3


The festivities on the boardwalk along the Grand Canal.  These costumed Venetians were out front of St. Mark's Basilica.  For money...you could get your pictures taken with them.  Many have elaborate costumes to entice the tourists.


A restaurant RIGHT literally on the water.  When the waves or tide comes in.....you get wet if you are on the edge.


An incredible sail boat on the canal.  This photo does not do justice to how big it is.


Amazing buildings everywhere.


Who's yacht???  I will look it up and try to find out.  It was MASSIVE.


River boat cruises are very popular in Europe.  These two examples show how everyone gets a balcony on board.



Our new friend. Roberto.  He wants to come to Canada to do "ice fishing?"  He thinks it is quite amazing that we actually do it.


His english was so much better than our Italian could ever be.
