You know that square in TV commercials where there are always pigeons around and sometimes people give rings to others?  That’s St. Mark’s Square, right next to St. Mark’s Basilica and St. Mark’s Belltower.  We did see lots of pigeons there, particularly around one lady who kept throwing bread at them.  We also saw signs in the area forbidding people from sitting or lying down in the square, with or without food.  We heeded their warnings and ate our gelato while standing up.
