Today we woke up around 8 and a huge group made our way to Venice Italy on the train. It was a nice two hour ride on which I slept. =) nothing happened to us like yesterday which is good.
Once we got here we decided to walk to San Marco square. It was a long walk but it was nice because we saw a lot of the city that way. A group of four of us girls got separated from the group because I guess I walk a little too fast. Again I acted as the person that gets us in the right direction with the map. So madison, shea, Jessica and I got separated and found San Marco square and the basilica. We took pictures. Here is one of the gondolas.
Then we got hungry so we found a sandwich shop that was recommended in a book. The sandwiches were made and pressed in the panini maker. They had focaccia bread and were delicious. I had one with prosciutto, Brie and arugula.
I also found a sweets shop with tiramisu and cream puffs. It looked so good I decided to get both. Hey you only live once!! We continued back to san Marco to eat next to the many pigeons that fill the square.
Then we didn't no what to do so we did what girls do best...shop. I got lots of beautiful things made by the owner of their respective shops. We also stopped at a recommended gelato place called boutique di gelato. It was my favorite one thus far. It was so creamy and perfect! I had tiramisu, caffe and nicciolato (hazelnut). So good!!
Here is a picture of me with some gondolas...it's a little dark.
Now I'm on the water boat cruising along the grand canal making our way back to the train station. Another 2 hour train ride ahead. Let's hope I can sleep through it!
It's been a long weekend but has been very worth it!
I love you all!
