Ahh,
Venice. What a unique city. It's too bad this once powerful naval city-state
is now basically a sinking tourist hole.

But man, there's just no other place like it.

The
first stop was the popular Piazza San Marco, home of the famous bell tower.

And, of course, the Basillica di San Marco.

What we didn't know was that this place was overrun
with pigeons who were
used to being fed.

VERY
used to it.
![](../../../images/europe/vol3/PA110017.jpg)
These
things had absolutely no fear.

They
make New York pigeons look shy.

But
although they're filthy, filthy animals, this was still strangely fun.

Come
to me, my animal friends!
![](../../../images/europe/vol3/PA110029.jpg)
Go!
You're all free!! (And I'm moderately effeminate!)

One
bird manages to crawl up Carl's leg...

Amazingly,
even though people were constantly feeding these things...
![](../../../images/europe/vol3/PA110050.jpg)
...
we weren't shat on even once.
