Venice Carnevale

We went out late last night and discovered that the revelers had disappeared. We decided they probably all go to private parties. There was a band playing in St Mark’s Sq, but not many people were there. It was bitterly cold snd windy We also discovered water everywhere in the Square. This morning there was even more water forcing people to form long lines along high ground in order to get from one point in the Square to another. The wind has been really high. It must be forcing the water up through drainage. The revelers were back out, posing for photos. They are fabulous in both dress and attitude. It’s like a dance.

We visited the Correr Museum. It’s not visitor friendly. There is no floor plan, artifacts are dirty. There is a salon devoted to the Bellini family and a Bosch that made it worthwhile. The Doge’s Palace, our other destination for the day was closed for a meeting. So after a bit of window shopping we returned to the hotel to warm up.
