October 14:  A walk along the canal in Chioggia

We decided to explore part of Chioggia that we hadn't seen yet, along one of the canals and various piazze and churches.  Long walk (for me) but we took a nice break at a seafood restaurant by the canal where we enjoyed risotto with shrimp and insalata mista, with of course vino sfuso (literally loose wine--basically house wine served by the carafe or half carafe).  Photos follow!

They still have cigarette machines!
