We arrived to the madness of Venice yesterday afternoon after nearly being washed away in a freak thunderstorm in Florence that delayed all the trains. Finally caught the Eurostar and then when we arrived got a Vaporetto(water taxi) to our little apartment-up 58 very steep steps! (You can see me at the door!) There are boats of all sizes flying everywhere-and Gondola's gently floating along in the middle of all this. Was a high tide in St Marks this morning which was funny to see. This happens about 130 days a year.
Jory wants to know if people swim in the water. Lots of the grade wish they could go to Venice. How long did the water say in the square? Have you seen any police around? Have you seen any cars around? Have you had a ride in a gondola?
