Venezia e molto bene Panini!
The beach was... eh... It was gorgeous, but super windy. I found a crab. I was COVERED in sand though, because of all the wind.
But more importantly, I took the train to Venice! Finally! And had I gone there with a significant other, I'm sure I would have loved it even more. I didn't get there until around three or four, so there wasn't time to see everything. Piazza San Marco was beautiful, especially the cathedral. I love cathedrals, they're so awe-inspiring. You think, these buildings are hundreds of years old. They're massive and made of stone. They're these hulking figures of cold rock, but then they're balanced with beautiful stained glass and ornate detailing. It's sort of homey, in a very formal way.
There are hundreds of pigeons in San Marcos Square, and I got a picture of me feeding them. There are all these vendors selling little bags of dried corn for the birds. Oh man, these pigeons are hungry and NOT SHY about showing it. I had pigeons in my face and hair and all over me! Luckily, no poo though. Whew!
I saw a traffic light! In Venice! No roads, just a waterway, with a traffic light. And I saw gondolas! And traditional gondoleers (is that a word?), dressed in black pants and striped shirts, with the funny hats. I took a waterbus. They don't have ANY cars in Venice, except on the outskirts where people commute to work and then catch a water taxi. It was SO COOL! I bought a dress and some scarves. I sat down and had a panini (a sort of sandwich)in the square and it was really good. I did lots of stuff. I need to go back though, and spend more time doing the little things instead of just an overview like I did today.
It is so unbelievably amazing to have these opportunities. I love Europe so much. I want to live there... OH WAIT! I DO! ^.^ teehee!
Anyway, my computer is starting to burn my legs, so I'm gonna end this now.
Ciao, bella!
