If you can't get to a market, a market will come to you in Venice.  I spotted a flat-bottomed boat carrying several different kinds of fruits and vegetables in one of the canals in a quiet neighborhood.  For produce sellers and residents, this may be just a practical idea born out of necessity to meet their daily shopping needs.  But it is quite an interesting sight for visitors.  For someone like me who was sprinkled with dust of Venice magic, its appeal even evokes a bit of romanticism.

A realist in Venice, would become a romantic by mere faithfulness to what he saw before him.  - Arthus Symons, British poet
