| I stayed at Al Logia Marinella, near the train station: a plain little pension on the outside and beautifully appointed within. |
I set out along a small canal... |
a first look at Grand Canal palazzos. |
Along the Canale della Giudecca |
it'a a broad walk |
with flowers on the walls. |
| Palladio's beautiful Redentore on the Giudecca |
Back to the small canals... |
and across the Grand Canal on a Traghetto |
a working gondolier |
and the cut-rate gondola ride |
gave an interesting view |
| lasting maybe five minutes! |
I walked toward S. Marco and found the back end of... |
La Fenice, restored after a fire in 1996 |
is ornate as ever |
in blues and golds |
Wandering along the little back canals |
