Venice!

Yesterday sucked. Lets be honest. We had a stressful few moments on the train ride over here (I wanted to cry. Matt was fine though, of course) A certain someone was in an awful mood all day, and I was hungry and feeling extremely dirty and gross after using the mens bathroom on our train ride... Translation- I wasnt happy either. Then we got to our extravagant hotel. We're talking five stars, overlooking the canals of Venice. Soooo gorgeous. Welp, wouldn't that have been nice? Our actual home: A cheap little campsite. The first thing I said to Matt was that it looked like a cult site. All the cabins are built the exact same. There are rows and rows of them. Too funny. :) But we're actually really enjoying it! Theres a big swimming pool and restaurant on the campus, along with a tiny supermarket, volleyball courts etc. etc. But basically last night was spent doing this:

Today we walked around Venice for hours. We loved it! Venice is totally our type of city. There were lots of little shops and San Marco was absolutely gorgeous. Oh my word. It's hard to describe the beauty. We had lunch and dinner in the city at a couple little restaurants overlooking the canals, and we enjoyed some live music when we were by San Marco. It was a great day! Its amazing to us that this city is run primarily by use of the water. We took about a million pictures of the flowers, canals, boats and gorgeous churches and old buildings. A day well spent.

We changed our travel plans a bit. Tomorrow instead of going to Geneva, we are going to take a train to Milan. After we spend one night in Milan, we will be going up to Paris where we will (hopefully) stay with a friend of Matt's. Our Paris plans aren't working out anymore, so we are crossing our fingers and praying that this will work. Unfortunately for us, we are still poor college students, so a free place to stay would be just lovely. :)

Oh... I almost forgot. I had the most glorious cappuccino today. The glass was covered in nutella or chocolate or something. I dont know. It sounds like sugar overload, I know, but it was amazing! Then the caffé was poured inside along with five or six real hazelnuts. I had no idea what I was ordering, I just saw the word hazelnut (in Italian) and knew I wanted it. It was amazing. This is a real silly thing to post, I know, but it was heaven. Absolutely wonderful.

(Oh, and dont mind my hair. Matt thought it would be super funny to just not let me know abouot that. Gotta love backpacking and looking like a trainwreck the whole time...) ;)

Okay. We're off. Tonight we are going to hang out with our new friends from Wyoming, and then we are going to pack up and get ready to head out tomorrow. Love you all, miss you so much!
