Venice - Acqua alta 2


So the forces of nature have all built up here so that the water in all of the canals has risen up over its banks and flooded the city. 

Our tour guide was nice enough to get us all water boots to keep our feet dry as we walk the streets of the city. You'll see the pictures of the boots, all very colorful; and of us trudging through the water filled alleys. We were instructed to walk carefully so as not to make a wake that would make a wave of water attack someone walking nearby.
