Rain rain, go away...

Okay, the thunderstorm last night was kind of exciting and pretty bearable as my tent is totally waterproof (amazing) and I had a stock of cheese and Nutella, but now after a full day of rain the charm is wearing off. And it looks like Venice will be pretty waterlogged (well I mean more so than usual) until I leave on Tuesday night so that should be fun.

But Saturday was a great day once I got out of the train station. I really think that the lack of cars makes Venice seem a lot less overwhelming, and so I was able to walk around and see some of the sights and pick up some more souvenirs. I ended the day with a nice bottle of prosecco in a lovely little square off the tourist track, so it was really the sort of European experience I've been looking for since I got here. I actually think it was my best day so far.

The rain started just as I got to the bus stop to return to the campground, and pretty much hasn't let up since. So much for one more day by the pool! But this has been a great little break and I'll def be ready to take on Paris in a couple days, which should be more of the crazy running around that I did in Rome.

Not much more to say today, since I've spent just about all of it reading in my tent. Luckily there is a restaurant here so I'm going to go see about a nice hot dinner. Mmmmm, minestrone...
