Smelly Venice
I am trying to plan a 10-12 day trip to Italy the last week of June into the first week of July. My plan is to visit Rome and Florence. I have not decided between then traveling to Venice or the Amalfi Coast. I was leaning more toward Venice, but a friend of mine who lives in Europe told me that she thinks the canals really stink during the summer months. What is everyone's opinion?

I guess the title of the post caught your attention, didn't it? That was the whole purpose, to gain attention in an effort to get replies and useful information. The purpose was certainly not to offend anyone nor was it to receive derrogatory replies. Boy, I hope your day (and your attitude) gets better.
Thank you Peter for your informative and respecful reply.

Venice is amazing! I loved it there. I think that that is a lot of bunk about the smell. There was nothing that stunk there except for the high prices on meals but overall it was worth it.
The people were so nice and charming . I remember a very distinguished older gentlemen who came up to me and offered to light my cigarette. We spoke over 2 expressos each for what seemed like the better part of the afternoon.

Ellie, based on the response drom Rhonda, you can see that you torked off the travel PC police in Fodors.
If Venice does have a bad smell in the summer months, you must never point this out.
Yah see, the only thing that is open season in here is how trashy, how uncouth and how unsophisticated we silly Americans are.

Hey, Rhonda, the only impoliteness allowed here is to complain about cigarettes odor on clothes one wears to be in an European night club, right? And bashing European smokers in a very rude fashion. As you just answered Ellie, calling her "ignorant loser".. I wonder who is the rude ignorant here...

When someone defends a nasty attack on a beautiful European city it is "PC" but if someone were to do the same regarding an American city you would be the first to blast them! Hypocrate cowboy !!
Nothing smells as bad as Sam's breath and is as vile as his thought processes.

Rhonda,
No Darlin, American cities have their own set of problems and Uncle Sam will admit that.
However, it takes a real idiot to tell folks that the canals in Venice do not smell in the Summer.
Probably the same idiot that claims the French do not smell on the Metro in August!
Rhonda, perhaps you are that idiot?

are you not bright enough to know the difference betwen asking a question and entitling a thread "smelly venice." Man, you are ignorant! Would you like it if someone entitled a thread "Ass-smelling Atlanta" Even if it were true, you would reem them!
And I noticed you are obsesed with smells and yet admitted to bob your nasty ares stinks! You dont shower or wipe I guess. Typical southerner!!

Rhonda, dontcha want to clarify your statment? Dontcha mean typical white southerner.
Since we mean ole nasty Southern people cause 80% of the world's problems, we know that you'd never be so politically incorrect to bash the black or asian people who claim to be Southern Americans.
Of course we know you meant only ole whitey!! ;-)
