On Sunday, we woke up early to catch a train to Venezia for Carnevale!! Instead of paying for expensive masks, we all went to the 'Euro Store' and used sharpies and nail polish to decorate them! Not as fancy as some of the other costumes, but we had fun with them! This picture below is of Liz, myself and Michala on the water bus to San Marco.
Unfortunately, the weather was miserable in Venezia. Cold, raining, and way too crowded! My dad would not have been happy there and his part of me was ready to scream at some points! We'll say it was an experience! For most of the day there was a large costume contest and my favorites are the ones depicted below!
After hours of wandering around Venezia and seeing all the costumes, we headed back to the train station to go back to Florence. By this time we were quite tired and had a decent amount of time before we were back home in our beds! This of course did not happen until we endured a slow, smelly train from Bologna to Florence and the sketchy-ist train station experience with crazy hobos.
This week has been quite long since none of us really caught up on sleep, but nevertheless, things are still wonderful here! I am gettign a feel for the area, finally, but the language is still frustrating. I think my host family expects me to be a lot further along and I feel like my Italian class is going too slow, but oh well! I am trying as much as I can with four other classes to worry about. I am heading off for a day trip to Pisa this upcoming weekend - tomorrow actually, so I will post again once I have had that adventure!
Miss you all!
Ci vediamo!
