We woke up to a foggy and rainy day, water bus routes changed which added some mystery to the area.
We had lunch with Aaron before he was off to meetings again and we were off to explore a Venetian holiday, La Salute.
To celebrate the end of the Black Death Venetians who survived the outbreak commissioned an architect to design the great Chiesa Di Santa Maria della Salute. (this beautiful church)
On November 21 people come out to celebrate and pay devotion to the Virgin Mary who freed the city from the plague.
It was crazy busy! The kids loved the balloons. Lots of fun street foods
They construct a bridge of boats over the grand canal for the holiday. We had to cross it! Along with everyone else.
On our way to find the entrance to the bridge, we saw this cool shop where they make the part of the gondola that holds the oar, the forcola. All one piece of wood.
