Venice

More from Italy. We spent our last two days in Italy in Venice. It was considerably colder and more rainy this far north, but was still quite spectacular.

St. Mark's Square. The first day, there was a University graduation taking place in the square which was really neat to stumble upon. But, since we went during the high tide season, the square was flooded (12" the second day we went!) which was quite the experience.

People were selling these boots to avoid getting your shoes wet in the flood, but they look silly and were ridiculously expensive (20 euros for a newspaper bag to fit over my boots? No thanks.) 

Don't worry, though! I still have a few more episodes up my sleeve, mostly pertaining to FOOD IN ITALY. So good.
