 It was really strange to me, people in Venice loved pigeons. I really don't get it, people would lay on the ground and let the birds cover there whole bodies. It was one of the wierdest and grossest things i have ever seen.
        Our ferry. Funny story; we stayed longer then the rest of the tour group in Venice, we thought why not we are in Venice. Our tour guide gave us a lecture before he left, "don't miss the last ferry at 10pm or you will have to take a $150 water taxi home." Well we arrived at 10 for the ferry but realized it didn't pick us up where it had dropped us off but we actually needed to board on the other side of the island. Picture this 6 of us sprinting through the romantic, very narrow streets of venice as fast as possible knocking everyone who got in our way down (on accident of course). Another issue everything in Venice looks the exact same so it was not easy to find our way.. Some how we made the last ferry seconds before it pulled away. We had a good laugh after that one.




egg on pizza? i did not hate it..





    This is really inappropriate so don't watch if easily offened. This youtube video shows what happens when Italians speak english. Some of the Italian students at my uni showed us the other day.
