We are calling a close to our trip after 2 busy days getting lost and found in the streets of Venice. What they call street here can be anything from a wide plaza to a 3-4 foot wide walled path between two buildings. The most amazing thing about San Marcos square was the pidgeons. People would feed them and allow them to swarm all over them.
This morning sirens sounded and the hotel owner told us that the square had water. We got there and most of the square had about a foot of water. People had put out gang planks for key paths and they were swarming with people trying to navigate from place to place. We went and had the most expensive cup of coffee in the universe with an amazing tiramisu at the ancient and famous Caffé Florian. This place started in 1720 and served some of the first coffee in Europe to the likes of Lord Byron, Cassonova and Woody Allen.
That's all for now. We should be home very late Saturday. A looooong time for us, a short time for you.
Ciaò
Bob, Shawna and Ian
