Venice: having a good time
I've been here for over 2 weeks, and have been having many diverse experiences, including a trip to the Emergency section of the hospital.
Today, I saw a couple of ordinary events, which I stumbled across by serendipity.

I was greeted by some deadly Venetian bacteria/virus, which has happily taken up squatting in my body! It has slowed me down somewhat! 
I conquered those scallop shells, and it was worth it.

Nice blog and pics. We ate at il gatto nero too, and had a lovely grilled fish, after some very yummy moeche. [baby crabs, usually deep-fried].
I didn't notice that cherub in the Gesuiti, but what about those marble curtains - our DS was very impressed with them, and thought they were real at first.

Hi, everyone,thank you for joining me, and for your nice words. I know I devour anything anyone writes or shows, about Venice, so I'm trying to return the favour.
annhig, the grumpy cherub is in the Gesuati in Dorsoduro. I sure agree about that marble work in the Gesuiti, what artists they were!
I'm STILL feeling Dull and Draggy .. maybe this is as good as it gets???

Love Venice, as well.
Regarding those scallops in the shell, also known as capesante: buy them and ask the fishmonger to clean them for you (service offered for free. Of course, a tip is also appreciated.) You will get your scallops with most of the yucky stuff gone but with the half shell for serving.

baby2, my rubbish smelled veeerrry interesting that night! It is such a neat experience to get really fresh seafood to try, what a difference that makes.
tarquin, I must try a spritz with camapri, to see what the difference in taste is. The sacrifices I make for you folks ....
