Vendors along the Fond d Farine, just east of San Marco
Wednesday continued
It was getting too late to visit the museums and churches
which interested us, so this seemed like a good time to wander. We explored
some of the Calle Larga XXII Marzo shopping area west of the Piazza
San Marco, Venice's most fashionable shopping district.
Back at San Marco, we found a lace shop near the Hard
Rock Cafe where the staff went to great lengths explaining the history
of Burano lace and the way fewer women are making the lace each generation.
The shop is mainly catering to Venice residents.
