While San Polo, the area we explored yesterday, attracted few tourists, today we explored the Castello district, which made San Polo seem like Disneyworld. The Castello is a large district and starts just yards from Piazza San Marco, but there's some sort of invisible force field that repels visitors from crossing the border. We managed to penetrate the defenses, and visited the old Greek neighborhood, centered around their church, San Giorgio dei Greci. It was of course not open when we got there, but conveniently there was a museum of Greek religious icons across from the church. It was my first real exposure to these icons, which I found interesting, although I also realized that by now we had spent more time with Egyptian and Greek artefacts than Venetian ones. The church kept threatening to open but never quite got around to it, so we moved on.
