A restaurant in one of the squares we stumbled upon while
walking around.
An
interesting bridge.
These
are the shops along the walkway leading up to the Rialto Bridge.
A
local shop full of hanging meat (hams?) and cheeses.
A
candid picture of Kathy in the more touristy area of San Marco where
many of the shops are.
Whoops!
A dead-end. Time to turn around and try another way through
the maze.
Notice
the little "bridges" of brick between the buildings.
I wonder if this is to offer stability so they can lean on each
other. Their foundations can't be too stable with all of the
water.
Teatro
La Fenice
(a theatre)
Near
San Marco's square.

Walkways ranged from being even narrower than this to maybe
15 feet wide, but most were narrow. It was interesting
because you would be walking through this maze of narrow
passages, sometimes doubling-back some because they would dead-end
at someone's home, and then you would pop out into a nice,
quaint square.

Quite a few of the homes had these tiny doors on them.
Yes, this is someone's front door. (The mail slot is
behind me.) I'm not exactly tall either!

This is not a photographic illusion. Pisa is not
the only place with a leaning tower. This tower in
Venice is leaning as much as Pisa's. I'm sure it's
hard to keep things vertical when they're built on pilings
driven down into a seabed.
