We're spending our days wandering around in and out of buildings, churches and shops -taking it all in.
Yesterday there was a small antique market in Campo S Barnaba and we bought a few things and went for a wander around with Rosaria and Livio -Rosaria helped get us good prices on the things that we bought.
Today there was a big graduation ceremony for uni students in Piazza San Marco and tonight there is a lot of partying going on around the many campos close by us. There is a lot of singing & laughing and people having a good time, which is great. We probably won't get much sleep early on as there'll be lots of singing. Especially a song "dottore, dottore..." which is sung to the new grad -who are often dressed up in a mixture of odd clothes by their friends and go on a wander around the city and end up at a bar where they proceed to drink a fair bit. Typical student stuff :)
We had a really nice meal in an osteria near Campo S Stefano - it was quite expensive but worth going back.
The wet weather has set in and we probably won't have any more fine weather before we leave for Torino on November 9.
The photos are from the past few days in Venezia
