  • The pidgeons are everywhere! For some strange reason, it's a big touristy thing to do, to buy feed for them. It's for sale by vendors right in the square. As soon as some unsuspecting "feeder" opens their little bag of seed, these guys swarm around them. I have seen them land on peoples arms, shoulders and even their heads. I would think this would be most unsanitary. I wouldn't want to spend any amount of time with pidgeon poop on my person....

     I did sigh and wished that I was there again as well after seeing that picture! It's a magical place, we had our honeymoon over there ...

     yes, Venice is an unique city... I'm so lucky I live so close to it so that I can visit there often :)

     Very handy tips on what to do or not in Venice!! I like the sound of no cars, few tourists and water transportation. Mix that with the great architecture and I can see why you enjoyed Venice so much! Well done Amy.
