117 Small Islands in the Marshy Venetian Lagoon

A couple of weeks ago we spent a chilly, sunny day in Venice, Italy.  It seems like a bad idea to build a city on islands in a marsh, but you can't blame those who started it since they were fleeing from the Barbarians.

St. Mark's Basilica.  It is said that St. Mark's remains were smuggled to Venice in a pig in the 800's.
