A Toast To The Venetian Flood

A group of men toast the rising waters in Venice, Italy. The wet gathering was held near the Rialto bridge on December 1. According to the Boston Globe, "Venetian floods are fairly routine, several occurring every year, and residents usually take it all in stride."

I would need a drink too.
