The Great Flood
... same time I decided that I wanted a McFlurry. They were ahead of me in line so i watched the worker place three beers on their tray. The sober girl picked up two (I doubt she was sober 10 minutes later) and the drunk girl grabbed the tray with the one left on it. That was not a good idea, the tray tipped over and the beer splattered all over the ground...and up my arm.

The bridges in_Venice are all covered with banners advertising one thing or another, detracting from the beauty. In addition, while there were many shops on this ...
The Classic Water City
... difficulties in staying in Venice though, is actually staying in Venice. It can be incredibly expensive to book a bed in a hostel, let alone a private hotel room, and it can get surprisingly cold in the autumn months if you're thinking of finding a quiet alley or park bench to spend the night (not that I ever would, but just so that you know). Now you might be wondering who the miniature woman in a pharmacy lab coat is and how she got such a prime spot in my travelling update. This is ...
