A trip to the Lagoon...

Well I spent this weekend off in Venice. It was truly amazing. One of the most beautiful places I have been. It would be an amazing place to live if it wasn't for all the tourist everywhere. We did basically everything. Including walking what I say was at least 8 miles just on Saturday. We went to the Basilica di San Marco, which has beautiful mosaics both inside and out of it. Also the Doge's Palace was amazing. It is where the figure head of the Venetian Republic lived and also housed the Senate, Great Council, Courts and Prisons. So it was basically a pretty amazing place. We also saw a few museums which were pretty cool, including an archeological one with a lot of Greek and Roman statues. Then of course we spent time on the grand canal, at the Rialto Bridge, at dinner on it one night, and of course we did a Gondola right and right at sunset which was beautiful. Then on Sunday we went to the Island Murano. Which is where they make the most beautiful things out of glass. I am definatley going back one day when I have lots of money to buy tons of jewelry and pretty things to decorate my house with. But for now I had to settle with an amazing pair of earrings that i found. It was basically just an amazin weekend. I went with two girls, Angie and Lauren, who both go to the Univesity of Minnesota, and were so much fun.
This week has been a bit stressful since it has been midterms. My tests went pretty well though which was great and I only have one more next wednesday but it is for one of my favorite classes. Well my computer is about to die and I am off for Napesl for the week. But here is the link again and there are new pictures up so keep checking it out...
