| Inside the church of Saint Stefano |
 |
| The front of Saint Sebastian. This area, Campo Santo Stefano, was very close to our hotel, and we went through it often, eating supper three evenings (2 different restaurants), having gelato for dessert, shopping at the drug store, and wandering the side streets |
 |
| There is a great display of musical instruments in Venice, and it is housed in at least two locations. These are 500-600 year old clarinets |
 |
| Bonnie is posing near the Realto Bridge (Ponti De Realto) one of four bridges which cross the Grand Canal. We walked over two of the bridges (Realto and Academia) and sailed under Realto, Scaliz, and Costituzione. |

| Ponti Di Rialto |
 |
| And the obligatory selfie |
 |
| One day in our wanderings we stumbled onto Teatro La Fenice, the Phoenix Theater. It has burned twice, and stands today as perhaps the most beautiful theater in Venice. |
 |
| Looking at these private boxes which line the walls, I thought of the Bolshoi in Moscow (if I remember correctly, the Bolshoi -- and the word means "big" -- is 6 layers high) |
 |
| The ceiling of the theater (captured with the selfie lens) |
 |
| The ceiling of Santa Maria del Rosario |
 |
| Q-bert anyone? |
 |
| The altar of Santa Maria |
