Description/Reflection
When in Venice in October , the city was experiencing extreme high waters . In Piazza San Marco where we were expecting to see thousands of pigeons , we were instead greeted with water six inches deep . When events like this happen in Venice , the people don’t stop at all . Businessmen roll up their pants , put on boots , and wade through the water . The police direct the flow of traffic just like in any other city , but traffic consists of people crowding on boards over the water , which allow them to navigate their way around the city . Vendors selling fresh fruits and vegetables still pull their carts through the streets and squares , but now dressed in galoshes . For these citizens of Venice , it’s just another day .
