| Venice Because Venice has absolutely no cars..... |
 |
| ....everything has to be delivered by carts.... |
 |
| I got a kick out of seeing this dry-cleaning delivery cart. And, as usual, people got a kick out of seeing me photographing the dry-cleaning delivery cart(I got laughed at and looked at a lot in Istanbul too, which you will see next post). |
 |
| Restaurants get their food and wine delivered by carts... |
 |
| And, of course, all this is leading up to the fact that the MAIL is also delivered by cart. Very cool. No sign of the delivery person. Someone could steal one of those packages just sitting there like that...(I wouldn't think of it). |
 |
| I wish one of those packages was for me -- I am part Italian, after all. |
 |
| Another very cool things about Venice is, many of the mail boxes have faces on them. |
 |
 |
| Here's a shiny new mailbox (ever so out of place in crumbling Venice but I do like that envelope on there). |
 |
| And here's one a bit more my style... |
 |
| Posta -- Mail Say it any way you like! |
 |
| PREGO NO PUBBLICITA My feelings exactly - a mail box is supposed to be for mail not for junk! Venice is really a magically beautiful place just to walk around in...next time I'd like to spend a week or ten days and just walk all over, take pictures and eat and drink coffee and wine... It is been brought to my attention by several people (hello Mary Ann...) that they haven't been able to comment on the blog. Since I see there are hundreds of page views and so few comments I wonder if others have the same problem. I have removed the word verification this time around to see if that helps -- so give me a shout-out and say hello. Let me know if you have been having trouble commenting and if that helps. As long as I don't get a bunch of spam I will leave it off and so we'll see what happens. I am working on catching up with all my mail -- so if you have sent me mail, you will hear from me soon. Send Good Mail to Get Good Mail. Ciao tutti! |
