After 4 days in Venice we made it to St Mark’s square. Unfortunately it was in the middle of the worst weather we’ve had so far. Reference Dale’s entertaining photos. Weather and umbrellas aside, what an amazing place. I couldn’t count how many times we said, “look at that,” or “come see this.” Without realizing it, we had arrived just in time for evening Mass. I have never even been in a Catholic church before. And between the Latin and Italian, I basically understood nothing that was being said. But you didn’t need an interpreter to understand the reverence in that place, And when they sang Gloria Gloria In Excelsis Deo we joined in. Awesome experience. After that we walked in the rain, again assisted by those wonderful umbrellas til we finally ducked into a great little trattoria to dry out and have a snack before beginning our quest for dinner. Remember, it’s all about eating our way through Italy. We’ve got a pretty good start.
