On our last day, we strolled again through the areas of Venice. We stopped to eat in Campo Santo Stefano for our last meal in Venice. Around the corner from our hotel, we walked through Piazza del Giglio and strolled to the Grand Canal where several gondolas were docked.
We then turned left onto Calle Larga XXII Marzo to do some last minute shopping. Joe bargained with a man selling bags and bought one for his daughter and me.
We saw several living statues here. One man was dressed all in white, including his face and he appeared to be sitting in a trash bin. We enjoyed seeing the reactions of passersby as he would turn his head suddenly and startle them.
A few stores down lay a man on the sidewalk, supposedly drunk, propped against a wall, holding a bottle in his hand. He was covered in black and appeared to be textured like stone. We never saw him move.
Shortly before our water taxi was due to arrive, we walked back to our hotel for the last time and retrieved our bags. The owner was very gracious in helping us to load our bags on the boat as we climbed over the railing to board. It was with sadness that we left Venice after a too short stay.
