That is exactly what they are like on the Vaporettos. <br />I also find their attitude amusing and unique as they arrive for work each morning. If we are out and about at that time, and they are heading towards us, they do not move aside, we must, to avoid running into them!Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11337624742762764722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-4057064233430132032011-04-12T06:30:11.960-04:002011-04-12T06:30:11.960-04:00They do wear impossibly high heels to walk the cob...They do wear impossibly high heels to walk the cobbled calle/streets of Venice.leather bracelets for womenhttp://www.ettika.com/Bracelets/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-69124618705470013402011-04-12T04:55:46.180-04:002011-04-12T04:55:46.180-04:00Hi Dafne & THANKS,

I completely adored Venice when I visited (in full summer season), but there was always something of the tourist theme-park about its famous heart, and like you, I was drawn to the back alleyways. I've always meant to read Donna Leon, and now you've totally convinced me - have just ordered About Face on amazon! I'm intrigued and impressed by her refusal to be translated into Italian - it keeps her on the 'right' side of that invisible wall you talk about!<br />Great post - thank you so much :))Karen @ PasGrand-Chosehttp://www.athousandmiles-k.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
