Last weekend, the whole group went on a program-sponsored trip to Venice, only two hours away by train. It was pretty much how I'd imagined it to be, which surprised me, because I hadn't been thoroughly convinced that a city built on water could actually be...real. When I first walked out of the train station and looked out at the streets, it actually took me a few seconds to register what I was seeing. I kind of just gazed out at the buildings for awhile before I even noticed that the street in front of me was full of boats instead of cars and buses.
There isn't too much to say about the trip--we stayed for one night and saw lots of churches, art, water, and glass jewelry. I, of course, already broke my new glass earrings, but luckily I'll be going back next month with Mom, Dad, Danny and Zack. Hopefully, it will still be there; sticks and mud are not the most solid of foundations, and the whole city is slowing sinking.
