Venezia


This weekend, two other girls and I spent the weekend in Venice!  We took the train from Orvieto early on Friday morning and spent the next two days walking around in the city and getting lost a lot!  Even though we literally spent hours wandering around in circles, Venice is not such a bad place to be lost in.. It is even more beautiful than pictures and movies!


We took boat rides up and down the Grand Canal, which was absolutely gorgeous.  All of the buildings are old and falling apart, but they are aging more elegantly than I would have thought possible.

On Saturday, we spent most of the day exploring the nearby islands of Murano and Burano.  On Murano, there are a ton of glass blowing factories and stores, and Burano is known for it's lace and brightly colored houses.

      Thanks, it really was an amazing weekend!! And you will be happy to know that I took a lot of pictures to add to the photo album you got me when I get back! Also, today our Italian teacher taught us how to make crostata, which is a really delicious Italian dessert, and I will definitely be making it for a Sunday at Gram's as soon as I'm back!
