Oh my gosh, we saw that ship!!! We had 3 gorgeous sunny days in Venice and were leaving on our last day (Wednesday, May 12) when the fog rolled in. It was almost like a ghost ship because it was so foggy, and you could just make out the Mona Lisa name and the outline of the boat. A tugboat went out and towed it. They were literally about 10 yards across from St. Mark's Square on the water. The fog was really, really heavy that day. It was obvious that something out of the ordinary was going on because all the locals were freaked too.

That is too wild . . . .
