It rained heavily in Venice when we were there. Before heading out for dinner, we were greeted by 2 inches of water outside of our hotel’s front door.

(We didn’t have rainboots so we took off our shoes and walked to dinner)

(A little flooding wasn’t going to ruin our night)

(A view from our hotel window)

(Off we go)

(After dinner we walked to San Marco Square and saw that the flooding was much deeper there)

(So we scored some rainboots and did what anyone would do, splashed!)

(The water probably 5 inches deep!)

(But frolicking in the flood works up an appetite for gelato eventually)

Venice is really beautiful, but it is actually pretty cool when you are sludging through flooded areas. Most of the Venetians were saying this kind of weather was irregular for May, but we made the best of it!
