Earlier this week when we got here that was so very evident. It was so very quiet at night. No cars. IT was the topic for breakfast.
Then last night all was undone by the very late night partying the Venetians do this time of year. It is the Festa del Redentore. The celebrate the end of the plague of the 1400s.
Our 4th of July has noting on Venice when it comes to fireworks !! wow.
And drunken singing until 3am. There is something hysterical about drunk singing in Italian.
What party animals
We tried to join in but somehow didn't know the words.
