Day 12

Welcome to the magical land of Venice, where the time zone is a mystery, Sunday school memories are randomly shared, and ancient rules are casually discussed.

Taylor and I are deep in their 12th day of adventures, pondering everything like crushed testicles in Deuteronomy to the learnings of our lovely walking tour. The trash situation is also a big deal here, with daily doorbell rings revealing that the trash man—sorry, “spazzino”—is coming by in his trash boat to save the day (while the hosts mistakenly thought it was a neighbor situation and have consistently asked each other, "is that for us?"

Amid all this, we learn that Venice is a city of islands (again but it clicks better this time), with nearly 500 bridges (and churches for each island, of course). Enjoy this quirky blend of historical facts and silliness!
