Venice is wet

I am laughing at this attempt at a "quick" tour of Venice. I have a
large suit case and a carry on and it's a pain in the butt (I expected
it) and I think the rain makes it heavier :)I wrapped all my clothes
in plastic back at Trieste. People are super helpful here, and the
gentlemen have offered to help carry my luggage up and down stairs or
the train. My instinct is to say NO thanks, I GOT this! But I think
that would be rude and unnecessarily time consuming for all so I have
obliged.

The toilet cost me .80 euros and I'm thankful I've been doing my wall
squat bc the seat was gross. :)

The train ride was neat! The boat taxi was cold and wet bc I chose to
hang outside so I can see everything. After I got settled on the boat
and calmed my brain a bit I looked around and thought: heh, they were
right, water everywhere.

I am wet and windblown but the rain is easing. I think it will rain
all day but it's OK by me. Not many people get to see Venice in the
rain. And I am all by myself, with only me to take care of so who
cares if I get wet?

My hotel is in San Marcos square. Not sure what that really means yet
but right now I'm waiting to eat lunch. Passing on the wine.
