Some Things You Don't See Everyday!

The automobile enthusiasts out there might appreciate seeing some European-style cars. These are not the most common vehicles around here, but there are quite a few like them. I saw a mini-pickup truck the other day with two wheels in the back & just one in the front!





People often put curtains on the outsides of their doors & windows. These, however, were more unusual than most ~ they look like ropes of fur. I saw the same type in several windows and doorways in San Quirino.



In the entrances to many of the homes are paintings or other types of art. Notice the addition of the wine bottles in the first one & the bicycle parts in the second arranged to form a face :-)



Tomorrow night we go out for dinner; then, on Saturday, we plan to go to Venice & Mirano. I saw Venice two years ago & can't wait to go back. The Bridge of Sighs has a wonderful story, and the Gondoliers are very friendly (if you know what I mean). The chance of getting pinched is much greater in Venice!
