and the acuatic streets...
After sleeping a siesta and recovering from the heat we went to walk again around Venice, this time to the Rialto area, which is full of shops, and clearly... full of turists, so we escaped to the lest popular side where the market is in the mornings. There are such fine bulding in Venice... I so much missed my friend Karen to ilustrate me about it all. (o simplemente para imaginarnos que andabamos buscando casa Karen, de entre esas casas)
There we first used the traghetto, which is a gondola that only crosses to the other side of the canal. Then we took the vaporetto to the Ponte dell' Academia, and walked the area until we found a restaurant in the water (on a wooden platform, I guess) that happended to be part of the hotel where apparently Hemingway stayed to write a book.
That was wonderful, to sit and have dinner just in the water, seeing the light fade away in the late afternoon and Guidecca Island in front, and the ships and vaporettos and gondolas going by... It was so peaceful.
Then Vaporetto again to the piazza San Marco, where we listened to some romantic songs sung at different caffes as we walk through the square.
