Venice Canals






The quieter part of Venice is tucked away from the beach scene in a maze of man-made canals that weave in and out of a quaint residential section.  This area gets tons of foot traffic on the weekends.  Unbeknownst to many, there are some neighborhood characters you'll see on the weekends.  One of these characters is Rowboat Man.

This dude is notorious for rowing his little boat up and down the canals with a boombox blaring classic rock on the weekends.  He always looks like he's getting an intense work out, but it's a little odd to be walking through this serene area only to hear him barreling down the canal in his rowboat.  Then again, that's what makes Venice, Venice.
