Venice...

Salut!

It is Anna! (for once).


Well, as you guys know,we just visited Venice.

My first thought when i stepped out of the train station was NO CARS!!! My second thought was, geez, that is a LOT of tourists.

But once you get out of all the crowds of photo-taking tourists you realize why they are there -- Venice is undoubtedly a magical place. We wandered around in alleys and probably went over a BILLION bridges.

For those of you who haven't been to Venice, i am going to try and "paint a picture" for you guys: Just picture narrow cobblestone streets with tall, different and beautiful houses each seeming seconds away from crashing down on you. Picture each window as having beautiful flower boxes and boats are floating leisurely down a canal, where there are old fashioned bridges arcing over the canal.

That gives you an idea of what Venice is like.

To sum it up, We had a spectacular time, though we had to try to avoid really touristy areas.
