Drinking
When the siren sounds for
acqua alta
(high water), Venetians dutifully close up
shop and head home to raise flood barriers - then pull on their boots and head
right back out again. Why let floods disrupt happy hour? It's not just a turn of
phrase: come hell or high water, Venetians will raise a toast to
la bea vita
(the
good life).
