As you say there is an awful lot of metal. Won't the glass be slippery to walk on? I’d forgotten this was being sold to us as the transparent bridge. As you say there is an awful lot of metal.

I was in Venice last week, anfd thought that the bags now do not appear to have the "designer" names on them, but something that looks like or sounds like the famous name. I think I saw "Grada" instead of "Prada", for instance. But, at least with the bags, the customers do get something for their money, and most people, I think, know they are buying a fake, though that doesn't make it less of a crime. No, I think that the worst con-trick is the worked by the people who sell the "dancing" Mickey Mouse and other Disney character figures (no doubt with no copyright payments to Disney). I know that the people buying them must be stupid to believe in magic, and I believe that they are sold for only about 5 euros, which isn't really a lot, but they too should be rounded up and shipped out of Venice.

I told my husband, the day they removed the sellers, that they should sell the bags of corn on Ebay as souvenirs from Venice. They would sell just for sentimentality's sake. So corn sellers, are you listening?...broke photographer (whose camera was destroyed at Carnevale this last February leaving her without a single photo) will gladly sell your corn for you on Ebay...for a small cut of the profit.
