High tide

Although we were warned that Sunday would have a high tide, we didn't really experience the whole "walking on water" type of day that we've heard about. On Tuesday, however, the tide definitely rose significantly, coming right up to the edge of the canal sides. I'm not sure how well this shows up, especially with the photo scaling required for the blog, but even small waves were sending water over the edges onto the walkways. Massimo said that the water can come significantly higher, effectively ending foot traffic on some walkways and flooding some of the buildings.
