Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while, with the semester coming to a close I'm trying to take advantage of every opportunity to get out in the city and explore. Anyway a few weekends ago we took a trip to Venice, or Venezia. Let me tell you, it is a place you will never understand until you're there experiencing it yourself. After getting used to the crowded busses of Rome, the Vaporetti was a nice break. They're essentially busses but...boats! There are boats everywhere because, unless you've been living under a rock, Venice is a city on the water. No cars, no metros, no busses, only boats. I got to ride a gondola (but the driver didn't sing to us), drink Bellini with some awesome friends, get lost (but not as lost as Destiny!), and see the surprisingly refreshing modern art gallery. The weekend was a great getaway from the always-crazy-always-loud city atmosphere of Rome, but when we got back, I was so excited to be in my Rome-home.
