I know it has been a while since my last blog post so I apologize. March was the busiest month so far. I had classes every day from 8:30am-1:00pm and then 3:00pm-6:00pm. I didn't have as much free time so I didn't so as much traveling. This month is my last month here, so we will be doing a lot! Look out for posts =)
This past weekend, we went to Venice! We left on Friday and arrived in the evening in Venice. Four of my friends and I had a nice dinner and took a short walk around the city. Saturday, we woke up early and set off on a walking tour of the city. One of our director's friends in Venice took us around the city.
First, we went to through the Jewish Ghetto. We saw the old check point buildings and barriers around the neighborhood and the World War II Memorial there. We walked up and down the canals and made out way to Piazza San Marco, or St. Mark's Square. We went into St. Mark's Basillica and went to the top of the Tower in the square. The view was stunning! You could see all of Venice from every direction. For the remainder of the day, we just strolled around the city. It was a gorgeous day. The sun was shining, it was warm, and we were in Venezia!
Sunday we went to the Island of Murano. it is the famous Island where Murano glass is made. We watched glass blowing and toured the shops and city. The canal's are shorter and the island is smaller than Venice, but still just as beautiful. We arrived back Sunday night after an amazing weekend.
