Venice - Eating and Drinking

Never without our beer and wine.

Venice - The ubiquitous handbags

All over Venice you can buy knockoffs of name brand purses. We didn't.

Venice - The Rialto Bridge

Judy and Marilyn having a great time.

Venice - Shopping

There are many wonderful shops like this one.
Picking a present for Louise.

Venice - Gloves

We saw many of these kind of shops all around the byways of Venice. Didn't buy any gloves, however.
I am struck by how artfully the Venetians arrange their goods for sale. If I didn't know better, I could see this as a piece of art.

Venice

Lots of good meals outside.

Across the water from Arsenale

Known as the Arsenale di Venezia, this area is part of the Sestiere di Castello. The merchant and military fleets actually sailed from here. A big part of the exhibit we saw was housed in the main building. This view is set across from the Arsenale. We saw these large pieces, but never went to look closely at them.
