Euro Day 16 - Thunder and Lightning in Venice

Just one photo today - I'll do a bigger Venice post tomorrow, but our first impressions from the 1/4 of the day that we have been here is that Venice is amazing.  It's way way bigger than I imagined - we walked for 80 minutes from our tiny apartment and only covered a tiny portion of it.

After a sunny afternoon there is now thunder and lightning and torrential rain outside the window. Jon, Jett and I went out to check it all out only to get soaked by the rain cascading down from the roofs on both sides of the very narrow alley our tiny apartment is above.  After about 30 seconds we were drenched from rain above and the deep puddles forming on the ground. It was very dramatic - especially as it was dark in the alley and hard to get the key into the heavy wooden door! We'll all remember that experience for a while!
