Last weekend we went to Venice for four days. Sadly, it wasn't as impressive as I expected. It was cold and raining (but I can't hold that against it). What really disappointed me was all the graffiti and trash in the streets. The history there, however, is incredible. The program arranged three different tours for us through churches, fraternities, and art museums. I saw a few Picassos and other more impressive artists that I can't remember now...
I'm glad that I got to see Venice but also glad that I'm not spending my whole time there. (my pocketbook is also grateful for this)
On Friday our time in Siena is over and we move to Florence. I am so excited!! Siena has been so amazing but I hear great things about Florence. And the nerd in me is really excited for my painting and history classes!!!
Miss you all!
