Venice at night - a quiet place to walk

 




Tuesday                                                                                            October 5, 2021

We settled ourselves into our B & B at the eastern end of Cannaregio this evening.  Our B & B is on a quiet residential street, not only close to the water bus stop, but near one of my favorite churches in Venice, Il Gesuiti.  The accommodations are perfect, but it's only a 4 room B & B, with no real amenities.  Michael wanted to purchase a few things for snacks and drinks.  So we found a tourist map and set out to find a mercato that was still open - not too late, it's 8 PM.

We found a great little market with all that we needed after crossing a few rios and bridges.  We selected peaches and a melon, buffalo mozzarella, noci (hazelnuts) and some bottled water.  I was able to speak well in Italian - glad my studying has helped me brush up, even if it's only at a 4 year old level of speaking.

We considered stopping in here at the bar for an espresso to cap off the night, but I was afraid it might not help with the need for catching up on sleep.  There's always tomorrow.


Wonderful looking local trattoria, with many patrons for a Monday night.


Buonanotte Venezia!
