The "Mercato Coperto"
above and below: Inside the Mercato Coperto was a myriad of stalls with fresh meats, fish, produce, flowers and baked goods. Look at how fabulous this is. Imagine being able to buy FRESH food like this every day!
above right: the Prosciutto/Parma hams hanging everywhere made me drool.
above left: I spotted this woman wearing a brown velvet jacket with lots of buttons, an orange tie and a beautiful silk blouse. Check out her ultra fab sunglasses. She was a pip. above right: a neat old car...no idea what make it was but it was old and fun. Friday is our last day on the ship, we arrive in Venice. Thanks again for stopping by today!

Excellent pictures! Especially the Trendy Fashions gave me a feel of being there. Thank you for sharing once again!
The freshness of the food in Italy is the best thing about it! I was able to eat absolutely everything there, with no after effects, since there were no preservatives in anything!
Great photos, once again.
Cool! They don't wear clothes like that in nashville...LOL!
The fashion issue is interesting. I remember looking in Italian store windows and two years later seeing the trends here in the U.S. Grab one of the velvet jackets and a pair of those sunglasses and you'll be the leader of the fashion pack here. Your photos show everything I love about Italy. Thanks.
I am all caught up now!
I remember in my art history course, we spent quite a bit of time on Ravenna, studying the mosaics of Justinian and Theodora in the Basilica of San Vitale.
That car looks to me like an old classic Citroen with the hydraulic suspension that you have to wait for whenever you start the car. You'd have to have a lot of time on your hands because if you're in a hurry you aren't going anywhere soon.
O Rick-- this is so wonderful! I dig the glasses! They remind me of Sir Elton John!
This is the first time I've been by in a bit. My husband has been gone for 2 weeks and I have been redoing our bedroom. I am worn out. I buy nice wine,pour a glass and surf on in to see what you are up to! ;)
The car looks like a Citroen. I'm not certain, but it reminds me of one.
