Venice Under Water



In an effort to avoid any further soap opera-like updates within our security agencies, I turned my attention to world affairs and caught up on the Venice floods, courtesy of the Atlantic's reporting.  The photos of all those people swimming and/or wading through the city make me cold.  I previously used a photo of the Piazza San Marco here, and I cannot imagine being one of the swimmers seated casually in one of those yellow seats in Atlantic's ninth photo.  Even worse, those tourists carrying their suitcases above the water makes my arms hurt.  Given my tendency to over pack, combined with less than optimal upper body strength, I would be enduring a very long walk, indeed.
