VENICE

okay so ive been slacking..but theres so much happening all the time and not nearly enough time to reflect on it all..especially with limited wifi..but here i am in VENICE updating in a mcdonalds :) 

the last few days of london were so fun, they included some amazing markets, camden town!, long naps, and then we traveled to paris for the night. we were only there for one night just passing through to venice but we definitely got a taste of what it will be like once were back for two months! and i cannot wait..we went out to dinner and i had escargot :) and liked it. and we walked to the eiffel tower from our hostel at night and it was AMAZING better than i imagined ..it was one of those moments..like im actually here and this is happening. the next day we took an overnight train which was definitely an experience..six girls crammed into a small sleeping cart with beds pilled up above each other.. it was really fun we had some intense rounds of rummikub and  "never have i ever" :) and with some tylenol pm i made it through the night..

and now were in venice and i still cant believe it..everything is beautiful literally every corner you turn is another hidden cobblestone path with brick walls and chipped paint..little shops and bridges that cross over the canal..its surreal. i still feel like im in a movie set. weve already seen some amazing art and we cooked dinner last night..oh i forgot to mention we have apartments! so sickkk..im with six girls in our own apartment in venice!..we made dinner last night and the other girls are cooking for us tonight as i type this!..im loving getting to know the streets and just feeling like i live here instead of a being a typical tourist :) theres still so much that were going to experience here so i will most certainly update soon. i miss you all! :)

ps. theresa i think about you all the time here :) 
pss. pictures from london will be up soon on facebook i promise!
arrivederci!

  1. Miss you Anne. Have you gone on a gondola ride yet? Hope you are continuing to be amazed and blessed by all that surrounds you and the history that you have stepped into. Forence was my favorite Italian city so let me know what you think, I'm pretty sure you are there next week. Love you and keep blogging....
