It’s not all gondolas, towers, and food!  If you open your eyes you can find the things and people  that make Venice work smoothly.  It requires the same type of workers and people that your city requires.  Here are some shots of things that might help you appreciate the extra effort that must be made in Venice.
transport boat brings everything
food, supplies, mail, water

What about police support?  No cars with flashing lights and sirens, as it has to be boats with the same.  Near the train station is the area where police boats are stored.
Running out of room, police boats are parked aside canal

How about the people who transport goods from the canal boats to the shops and homes.  Here  you can see the type of cart that is used for this, and two fellows who have to fight the tourist crowd.


Coming over the top of the controversial bridge.
Many Venetians are not please with the design
The Cart workers hate the steps 
It takes more than one person to move goods

How about the gardener who keeps this so perfect

When you arrive in Venice, I hope you will see more than the historical sites, but see the people who make it all so special.

Ciao!  Dave
