[[strikethrough]] This [[/strikethrough]] [[underlined]] Venice is certainly unique of its kind. No motor cars, [[/underlined]] no wagons no horses. Thank Heaven! none of that noisy tooting of motor horns. [[underlined]] All [[strikethrough]] don [[/strikethrough]] transportation done by water [[/underlined]] and the yells or warnings of the Gondoliers resound on the canals o against [[saltpetry?]] walls of doors as in a flooded town. [[underlined]] Palazzo-this and Pallazo-that all equally rusty and molded looking [[/underlined]] with their iron doors or [[underlined]] iron [[/underlined]] balustrates rusty and unpainted, [[/underlined]] rusting away from below in the [[underlined]] sluggish water which looks greenish and in which float odds and ends, [[/underlined]] which mar somewhat the illusion of beautiful Venice and

here and there a [[underlined]] smell [[/underlined]] added to it.

The Gondoliers [[/underlined]] seem a rascally lot and seem to make a powerful union 
Everything centers around the [[underlined]] Piazza San Marco [[/underlined]] which is the principal and [[underlined]] most impressive sight in Venice [[/underlined]] and which leaves a lasting impression, very characteristic, and everything of any importance. Meetigs of Fascisti processions concerts, all seem to happen there 
There is a [[underlined]] little Yacht Club [[/underlined]] (Royal) near by [[strikethrough]] small [[/strikethrough]] The usual small [[underlined]] racing sailboats [[/underlined]] moored close to the stonewalled shore. Same design and rig as everywhere 

Transcription Notes:
"saltpetry" might imply the accumulation of "salt" or minerals on the stone walls. I use the word 'underlined' with a 'd' because that it is my understanding from the instructions. It appears to be a waste of time to reopen and edit just to remove the 'd' from the word 'underlined'. If I review a page and the transcriber does not add a 'd' I don't reopen to change.
