Description:
Well, that is about where it is supposed to be, anyway. I think I am actually ENE or NE of St Mark's Square by a little, but we'll just have to live with it.

It was a cold and stormy day. (Can't fall into THAT old trap!) Blustery. Gondolas all moored to the docks. Or quays. Or whatever they are in Venezia.

Birding was interesting here: can you say "Rock Dove"? Ten thousand times? Of course that USED to be one of the attractions - buying pigeon feed from vendors and holding it in your hands while the urban chickens alit all over you. It is surprising how much those beasties weigh! Then you throw the seed & they all scatter. Ever seen "Home Alone 2"? Kinda like that.

We didn't have too long there, unfortunately, so we only walked the square, followed in James Bond's path where he drove the gondola up the steps and through the square. Kind of weird, in a way.

But Dad had been there in 1953, so it was interesting seeing some of the things that he had painted from then.
