Venice was what I thought it would be and more. The one spot I marked as a must visit on this trip was Venice and it lived up to all that I read about it. Really the city is like nothing you have ever seen before. You have to take a vaporetti or water bus to get almost anywhere. We stayed out by the aiport and had to take a bus into town, but the places to visit and the downtown area is all on water-so very neat. It does look like the pictures you see and the images from the Italian Job and other movies you have probably seen set in this location. I want to go back.

In Venice we did the touristy stuff on the first day we arrived, then on the second day we went to Murano Island where they make glass, then on the third day we went to the beach on Lido island and got some sun. It was nice and the well the Adriatic Sea is much warmer than the Mediterranean and there was sand instead of Nice's rocks.

Rome is old and well we are at the end of the trip so we are getting a bit worn out of touristing. One more day and then the 14 hour trek home. I will tell you all about it when I am stateside from the comfort of my technological devices and sum up the EuroVaca 2006 in the upcoming days as I prepare to begin the packing of my apartment.

Sorry so short, but I am so tired from a day being holy at the Vatican.
