Venice was AMAZING!!

We took a water taxi to Venice & spent most of the day there.

{I believe this is part of the Doge Palace..}

{Paintings on the church}

{A view looking up..}

We started out by going to a glass blowing factory and watching a demonstration...

{You can't tell but he made a horse!}

After the demonstration we all had time to walk around the glass store and had time to buy stuff. After Katie, Megan & my dad got the stuff they wanted we sat outside and waited for everyone else to finish up...

{Buildings in Venice}

{There was a store on the corner that had American food, I thought it was funny!! haha}

{This is self explanatory}

{Me, Megan & Katie. But you can see other people from our group like Dylan, Heather, Brandon & Rey}

After glass blowing we had a guided walking tour of Venice. Our tour guide's name was Daniella. She was awesome!! haha
