Venice/ Weekly update!!

Ciao Ciao mi famiglia e amici. come sta? io sono molto bene. Haha I know you liked the Italian.

So sorry it has taken so long this week to do a post. That just means I have been doing stuff so I don't always have a lot of time.

Well I went to Venice last weekend on a school trip and It was very fun. It was the beginning of carnivale ( carnival) and It was insane. I have never seen so many people in one area before in my life. So we left on a Saturday to go to venice...Yeah on Vday so thats where I was. and we had to meet at 4:45am which is super early and It got even better because I didn't get home until 3ish. So i got a total of 45 minutes of sleep before I left. Don't worry( mainly my mom I got more sleep on the bus) The bus ride was a nice 4 hours, which i spent knocked out on the bus.

I did managed to take some amazing pictures which are on my mac which is currently not working right now. But as soon as i get that fixed I will start uploading my pics to a photobucket account and I will post the link on here so yall can look at all my wonderful pictures.

Back to Venice...we got there and It was friggin freezing... I mean probably 30 or so degreees which was the only bad thing. I just know now that I am totally californianized therefore anything below 60 is freezing so i was not such a happy camper with the weather. Once we got to venice we had a jam packed day so we started with taking a boat ride to the islands of murano and burano. Now Burano you guys can see when I post the pics is a very colorful place...which I loved because I love bright colors. But seriously every house was a different color and the town was really cute and small. Not a place where I could live( although we did see first hand that the people of burano have really bright whites.)

Then after Burano, we headed to murano. Now if you have not heard of murano it is a wonderful little island where they make wonderful glass products. So we got a tour of one of the glass factory where we got to see where they make/and how they make their glass. It was very interesting to see the cute little islands.

After that we went to the big island of Venice where the town center is and the first day there were a good amount of people but still I was able to walk. So we hung out there for the day and explored and I bought a mask for carnivale...which is pretty bomb might I add. That night we had a traditional italian dinner. I think it included 4 or 5 courses and also a desert course. Now as many as you know I am somewhat picky and usually I do not try that many new food.(which I am working on) but thanks to my table mates I managed to taste everything that we had for the night. Which included a cooked turkey like meat, a cooked beef thing, salad dish and some other things. I took pictures of each course,haha. It was an interesting expereince and i think i only ate two of the courses fully one of those being the desert course but I had some good wine with the meal so I would say it was a good meal.

Finally our last day of venice was jam packed as well. We saw the guggenheim which was amazing and we visited the dukes palace. So overall the weekend was very nice and I was happy to go back home to firenze. Well imma do my weekly update on another post so this isn't too long. until next time.
Ciao
