Venice

We took the train from Florence to Venice on Monday, the 7th, and encountered a one day strike of the vaporetto drivers. After we had waited about 40 minutes, we realized we may not get a water bus, so we started walking. It was quite an adventure. I usually expect to walk and walk with Doug but this was an unexpected 'bonus'. We arrived, finally, got settled, and then went off again. It had started to rain so out came the umbrellas. No pictures with is post since we were either lugging bags or dodging raindrops. Maybe tomorrow. Although, we are a bit concerned since the 'aqua alta' walkways are lined up on the streets. We may be in for some high water.
