Venetian Rain

We arrived in Venice and had a nice dinner in the TopDeck tent. I was glad to have a chance to do some laundry and relax in the bungalow. 

The next morning was overcast as we headed into the city. Dark rain clouds were threatening on the people mover, but once we actually got into the city the thunder began and the skies opened up and started pouring. Even through the rain Venice was beautiful. 

We walked through the city to St. Marks square where we ducked out of the rain for lace and glass demonstrations. 

Both of the crafts were beautiful. Back outside the thunder storms had not let up and most of us decided against gondola rides. Instead, we trudged through puddles and across slippery marble walkways to find some lunch as see as much of the city as we could. 

Venice was towards the top of my list of places that I wanted to see. The rain was so torrential that we just couldn't continue to walk around. I was pretty disappointed so I guess I'll just have to come back and have a do-over! 

Who wants to join me?!
