Day 90: Venezia

     Today is the day that I had been waiting for since I got here. I finally went to Venice!! It took about two hours to get there; I went with Shelly and her family. Once you walked out of the train station you immediately got the full effect of Venice: there's a white bridge on the left, water 'buses' and 'taxis', and of course, the river with some floating buildings. It was exactly how I had imagined it to look.

     We took a water bus to the main square and explored the bridges and area around there. The area is very touristy and so prices are very high. After a quick lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe, we just got lost in the streets of Venice. I walked wherever I wanted to and over a ton of bridges just because I could. Then I went on a gondola ride. I could not convince the guy to sing no matter how much I tried; you paid 80 or more euro to ride one so I was not happy with him..

     Although this is a quick explanation of what happened, the pictures really explain how beautiful it was. When we were waiting for the train, there was a guy on the steps singing Jason Mraz while playing guitar. The whole experience was absolutely worth it. I wish I had had more time there. That was in my top five things to do before I die and it was as amazing as I thought it was going to be.
