Often the houses extend over the street, which
winds under them in dark arclways, and where
there are no Ovcrhanging buildings, there are
often supports of masonry thrown across from
house to house. There arc no windows upon the
street, except few picturesque, projecting lat

and vines and flowers wave and bloom down
all the vistas. The streets are never level for
fifty rods but climb and wind with broken stems
