Auqua Alta

 One of my dreams came true! I REALLY wanted to see the "high water". So when I heard they were putting out the platforms I was all about heading over to Venice. It happens at high tide, so we planned to be over in San Marco square right at high tide.  I didn't realize that the vaporetto changed courses when there was high water. So we got off at a different stop and had to walk a bit, but it was awesome. I was the only one that wore rain boots, so that posed a bit of a problem, but nothing too bad. Shoes dry.

 The platforms!
 I was out walking in the water!




 Guess no lunch here today!
 A lot of tourists by the brightly covered boots.  


 The police even got into it.

Don't know if you can see the stairs that are covered.  This is a garbage boat.
