Venezia


More pictures :)



Lots to see in Piazza San Marco




San Marco Basilica












I absolutely LOVE Italy. Italy makes me feel good. I am not sure whether it is the people or the food or what but I love the culture here. I want to come back out to Italy to live here for at least a month. It is so beautiful here. I spent 3 days in Venice roaming around seeing the sites and eating dank food. I had the best Gnocchi and pizza of my life. An amazing cingue formaggio pizza that I had dreams about later that night. Hahaha I plan on attempting to cook the amazing dishes I have tried when I get back home. I rode the AquaBus all around the city one day. This was a really cool way to get to see Venice because the Canal Grande flows right through the center of everything. I really enjoyed walking through the Rio Terra Lista Di Spagna because this street loops around the island almost the whole way and is famous for its small shops and eateries along the way. All the shops have painted masks, all sorts of interesting Murano glass objects and jewelry, and a variety of hand made leather bags and wallets and things. Venice is a lovely city. I have been in the best of moods here and have really enjoyed myself.



I didn't get to take a Gondola ride myself because they were frightfully expensive. But it seemed fun if you had a date.

Santa Maria della Salute


Venice has been wonderful so far. Still here for one more day, then off to Florence.
