Wow today was yet another exciting day! We had a little free time for a couple hours this morning so I sketched the Duomo. It is so ornate and extravagant but it was fun to sketch because of all of the details. It was then almost time to meet as a group to leave. Oh yeah I can't forget that we got out third gelato from Gnome before we headed back to the hotel. This place grows their own fruit and then makes it from scratch right there, it is divine!! Then we were off to Venice. We rode a train through the Tuscany valley for two and a half hours, it is so beautiful just like in the movies. Rolling green hills with a bright blue sky above it. I felt like I was in a movie. There was so much beautiful scenery. Then there we were right by the water in Venice!! We hopped on a water taxi, which wasn’t the easiest thing to do with 28 people. When we arrived we were so excited, this place is a palace, well at least to me. My roommate Jeanette and I got a huge suite room and I am not going to complain, it is so so nice. Our Florence hotel is like a shack compared to this!
We got to know the area and went shopping. Oh yeah I paid 4 Euro for a can of diet coke, and I just about died. That is like 6 U.S. dollars, had I known how much they were at this restaurant I would have never got it, at least it was very refreshing. Afterwards we walked around, crossing bridges above the water everywhere we went, seeing gondola boats that were gorgeous, and just enjoying the great scenery all around me!
