Today on Travel Tuesdays we visit Venice in a rain storm.

Consider this a part 1 of a story about staying in a ground-floor apartment in Venice, as I’d intended to write more about our experiences in a funky little apartment right on a little canal, but ran out of time today.

So, today I’ll just go ahead post some photos of what the rain looked like outside our apartment during one of the rain storms. Venice is definitely preferable when it’s not raining, of course, but there are opportunities in a rain storm that you don’t get when it’s sunny.

Anyway,  I took the following photos while standing under a tiny little overhang outside our door, which is why they weren’t all taken at optimal angles. Hey, it was pouring out there — I do what I can, as long as I don’t get wet.

Look for the rest of the story of our apartment adventures in tomorrow’s post. In the mean time, enjoy today’s peak at Venice in the rain.
