Seriously don't go to venice. Unless you like smelly water, lots of pigeons, and no public toilets.

Waddaya got against pigeons?

I think there was that time I startled 500 or so pigeons in NYC somewhere near Union Square and I almost got knocked over by the backblast of them taking off. Now it took just one wild turkey to do that to me at point blank range in my hayfield, it was funny to see it just barely clear the hedgerow at the end of the field.

Nothing, they were the best part of it tbh.
