I am happy to report that I am feeling much better now...bad news is that Russ now has the cold!
Yesterday morning we checked out the big produce and fish market here, and saw some amazing displays. It was amusing to see the vendors carrying on business despite the hordes of curious tourists in the way (including us!). One thing that particularly interested us was fresh scallops still in their shells but cracked open. The scallop shell is one of the symbols of the Camino, so it has special meaning to us.
We also had some fun taking photos yesterday morning-it's great to get away from the main tourist areas and just wander the smaller alleys and canals. This place is so photogenic that we will have a problem when we get home and have to sort through hundreds of canal shots!
Another highlight yesterday was walking to the cruise ship terminal and seeing the most incredible three masted Bermuda type sailing vessel- look it up on Wikipedia- its name is EOS. We thought of our boating friends as we gazed at it...Russ had trouble getting the whole thing in a photo. Also saw a Greek ferry arrive- very cool!
This morning we are off to Florence by train...we won't be sitting in the same car, but at least we're on the same train-haha. We're learning how the ticket machines work at least.
Until later, ciao
