I avoid city life most of the time - give me the wide outdoors any day, but when we travel it is the everyday aspects of life in a city that can be most fascinating. Venice is an amazing place where the day to day work still goes on, even though the streets are mostly waterways and the 'delivery vehicles' are, by necessity, boats. The post still gets through, food and goods are loaded and unloaded and people walk or boat to work. Washing is done and hung to dry over the heads of tourists and residents ... life goes on. I love this city.
(I know the highlights are blown out on the washing but I couldn't resist including it...)
