Venice

From April 26-28 I was able to finally visit a city I have always wanted to see: Venice. It was such a mysterious city, full of art and surprises. It's very strange that it even exists, stretching across 117 small islands in the Adriatic Sea- and no cars or mopeds exist in Venice: you travel either by foot or by boat. My favorite part had to be looking in all of the great shops all around the city, which were filled with the famous and beautiful Murano glass and masks for Carnivale.
I had beautiful weather the whole time I was there, and loved every second of exploring the winding, narrow streets and passing over the hundreds of bridges over the green canals. :)

St. Mark's famous pigeons

i found out on the news when I got back to the farm that
feeding the pigeons in the square was banned
right after I left- maybe I should've done it!!!
