An underwater statue. Was it made to only be visible at low tide? Is this a sign of the sinking city? Will they raise it when they finish rasing the ground around there?

"Stop global war"
There was lots of political graffiti, some even in english.

Big building on the end of the grand canal. I didn't bother to learn the name of it because I am an ignoramus, however, I know it was featured in Tomb Raider.

I stayed on Lido, in a village called Malmocco. This is the courtyard and church next to my hotel. I saw many many many towers that looked very much like this one.

Lido's fmaous beaches must be nicer at the other end of the island

Campari is tasty on the rocks, or servered with two parts soda or with two parts OJ. It's best on hot days, which means I didn't drink it, since it was foggy most of the time. However, it does have a nifty sign on a building which looms right over the boat stop for Lido, so I thought of it often.

Bell tower and courtyard on Murano, the glass blowing island full of stores with outrageously marked up tacky glass creations.
29 October 2005
The buildings look so nice on Murano because they charge you 50$ USD for something you'll see later the same day for 20$ by the train station. The do this by claiming it's "handmade" by an artist or something.

A cat sleeps in between glassworks. Sure, there's a danger the cat will get pissy and knock it all over, but since they charge 3 times what the stuff would normally go for, their profit margin is safe. And yeesh, it would be no loss to the beauty of the earth is this stuff crashed to the ground. I just hope the cat wouldn't get hurt.

There are muscles growing in the steps down to the canals.

A cafe on Murano. Even their ice cream is ridiculously overpriced.

You can buy a multi-day boat and bus pass in Venice. Cola here on a boat, speeding to our next destination.
