Ravenna...San Leao...Venezia...

Ciao tutti!

I apologize for the delay, but there has been SO much to do here! We went on a day trip last Wednesday to Ravenna and San Leo. Good times...

Ravenna: What a beautiful city! We did not have much time there because we were in a rush to get to the next place. Anywho... the church there had a mosaic ceiling that would take anyone,s breath away...

San Leo: HOW COOL was this place? It was very cool. haha. It is a midevil fortress on top of a big hill complete with perfect views AND an actual dark torture chamber. SWEET!

Venezia: We just returned from this LONG trip yesterday, but it was well worth it. We stayed on the island of Lido. It was very cute with a nice beach. Then we went to Murano (one of the glass islands), Burano (my favorite place out of all of them... they make lace there and all the houses are brightly colored and beautiful. Apparently it is one of the most photographed cities in the world. I have tons of pics of it myself...hehe), F. te Nove (a cute island with THE BEST pizza ever), and Cimitero (a cemetery island... the ENTIRE island was a beautiful cemetery. It was really neat and erie)

Sadly, that is all the time I have right now but Wed. we are off tp Siena and Firenze and then Friday we go to Verona to see... TOSCA (a wonderful opera by Puccini) in the Roman Arena. I cannot wait! I will update it and let everyone know what an amazing time I am having. Haha.

Not to rub it in, of course...

Ciao!

Every time you write a new blog entry you make me wish I was there with you. We must do Europe together sometime. Between you and me we could navigate any country that spoke either German or Italian. I miss you!
