Venice, Italy
Some pictures from Venice... it was so beautiful!
This is me on one of the many bridges over the canals in the city...
There were so many little bridges and canals so you could get around town...
The buildings were tall and so close together with just water in between them...
At the main Piazza called San Marco Square there were millions of pigeons! (you would have loved it mom! so many birds. haha) They would walk right beside you and would eat right out of your hand!
Here was one of the famous Gondola's that you always see in the movies... They are so expensive! For one hour it was over 100 Euro!
Another cool picture of the boats parked like cars along the city...
Venice at sunset...
This weekend the girls and I (my friends Patricia, Nicole, Brianne, and Rebecca) decided that instead of sticking with the group that was going to Cinque Terre, we were going to go to Venice. It was a good choice because Venice was definitely a site to see! it was amazing after living in the city for a couple of weeks and then going to Venice and there was not ONE car on the island! it was really interesting. You get around by the ferries which are small walk on ones that hold about 100 people. It takes a long time to get around to places, but it cool just to sit on the ferries for a couple of hours and go around the whole island. it was beautiful! The first day we went to San Marco which was a huge Piazza (i think the only Piazza in Venice because it is such a small island!) and had an amazing church which i couldn't go into becuase you had to cover your shoulders and you couldn't wear shorts, and of course i was wearing shorts and a tank top. Instead, Bri and i visited McDonalds to get a nice ice cream cone (of all places while we are in italy!). It turns out that there is at least one McDonalds in every city in Europe. interesting.... The second day we were there, we went to another small island off the coast of Venice called Murano which was where they actually made most of the glass. Venice is known for it's glass and the city was lined with little shops full of glass... everything you could imagine. and it was all so expensive! At Murano, the glass museum was closed but we got to peak in the factory, and it was pretty cool to see how they made and shaped the glass. The glass there was so detailed and beautiful (as is everything i am explaining on my trip, haha, sorry for not using more variety of words). But we had a blast and got to see an awesome place!
