more Venice

Oops,  my instructions to click on any photo again to return to the chat page were wrong.  My bad.  Sorry.  Click your <--- browser button instead.    Y'all know I am technologically challenged....

Here is St. Mark's Square, very early in the morning before other tourists have arrived by train and cruise ship:



I noticed a shoe store where everyone was stopping to look at the display in the window.  All the shoes were "over the top" but these were really quite confounding, between the height of the stilletos, the spikes in back, and the fur in the front.   I would love for a psychologist to interpret the subliminal message these might convey, but I probably don't really want to know the answer.   LOL


For our dog lovers.... you'll be interested to know that many of the gondolas had a mascot dog on the boat.  They probably belong to the gondolier, but  it was a lot of fun to see them.    



And at The Doge's Palace,   this is probably one of the original Suggestion Boxes.   Citizens wrote down their suggestions to the government (I think they had to be signed with the person's name)  and the government considered their ideas.   He has a very "Venetian" look, doesn't he?
 The mouth is the slot...

So that concludes the photologue/travelogue.   We have 800 pics between us, which you really don't want to see unless you are suffering a severe case of insomnia.    Have a good weekend!

I've loved seeing all the pictures but must confess the shoes have been a puzzle to me. LOL!! Can you imagine walking in them? One would have to be very careful sitting let alone falling. The backs look rather dangerous.

Thanks for sharing!
