VENICE!

VENICE, ITALY:

Lisa and I arrived at our campgrounds in Venice on the 4th of July, trust me, I definitely was missing those barbeques and fireworks at home...but, I was in Venice....which is so much better! The campground was quite outside of the city, and we arrived later in the evening...so we just headed to the bar to treat ourselves since it was the 4th. We stayed longer than intended, and danced with a ton of americans, who were enjoying the holiday as well.

The next day Lisa and I walked around Venice all day with the intentions of getting lost...because it is relatively difficult to read a map, and not get lost. Venice is breathtaking, the canals, bridges, and boats are so picturesque...you definitely find yourself snapping photos nonstop. We finally made our way to St. Petere's Square....with all the pigeons. For one euro you can buy a big bag of food, and feed the birds....i'm not very daring, especially when it comes to birds...i have a fear of them....but lisa was all about letting them land on her hands and arms. I clung the bag of food so tight...because i dont' think i could have handled a bird landing on me....i just threw food out to them...i've never seen so many birds in my life.

We didn't plan a long stay in Venice, because it's an outrageously expensive city. However, we thoroughly enjoyed getting lost for a full day. Venice is a really magical city, and someday, i'll have to come back.


Next up: Salzburg, Austria

I sooo hate birds too
OMG. I would have died with those birds around me, I'm petrified of them. When I was in Mexico, I got chased down the corridor to the college by a duck, screaming my head off while everyone watched this crazy american run! Not cool, plus this can shit on your head and you can't kill them cuz they fly! Can't wait to see ya! Enjoy your last couple days before you have to come back to fricken Pulaski. yuck!
