Tourists in Europe have once again outraged locals with their uncouth behavior — this time, taking a dip in front of a cemetery in Venice.

Two men, who were spotted by commuters on a water bus in the Italian city, left their clothes in front of the San Michele Cemetery last week and entered the murky water.

Isola di San Michele, which consists of a cemetery and church, is an island in the Venetian Lagoon, located between Venice and Murano.

Tourists are drawn to the island to see the graves of well-known people, including famous Russian-born composer Igor Stravinsky.

If you're planning a Greek vacation, it's a pretty good bet that you're going to be visiting Santorini. In 2023, there were 3.4 million visitors to the small island with a population of only around 20,000. Cruise ships bring in around 17,000 passengers a day to Santorini. That means, if you want to see the famous Santorini sunset from the town of Oia, you're going to be packed in with tons of other people (as you can see in the pic below), and even worse, you could be waiting hours to get a ferry from the ship and more time to take a chair lift to the city. It's gotten bad enough on Santorini with overcrowding from cruise ships that some cruise lines are canceling planned stops, meaning that, even if you've booked a cruise there, you still might not see it.

A small Tennessee town has lost its entire police force in protest of a new mayor who was elected just weeks ago.

Alexandria Police Chief Travis Bryant said he resigned last week because new Mayor Beth Tripp was “micromanaging” his department despite not having proper policing experience — with his other two officers soon following his lead, according to WTVF News

“To just up and leave like I did, it bothers me,” the chief told the outlet. “But it is just what I felt was in the best interest for myself, and I had to do that.”
