Visiting Venezia

So far I have visited Arezzo, Angihari, Assisi, Urbino, Citta di Castello and Florence.  However, aside from Sansepolcro, Venezia is my favorite city. 
This past weekend was amazing.  Lauren, Chelsea and I had left early for Verona.  Amanda was going to meet up with us later.    In Verona we visited Juliet's house.  I loved how everything was themed around the play.


At the entrance to Juliet's house the walls were covered in love notes.


In the courtyard there was a bronze statue of Juliet.  She was placed just underneath her balcony.





According to popular belief, grabbing her right breast will grant you luck in love.

So I did.
Ah, Verona.




The next day we went to Venezia (Venice).  




While in Venice, we also went to Murano.  This is an island off of Venice, it is famous for its glassblowers.

 The trip to Murano.


I don't know if you can see, but this is a glass blown spiderweb.
It was amazing.

Afterwards, we went to St. Mark's Square.









There was a sign that said you couldn't lay down in St. Mark's Square.
















































But I am a rebel.


 We also went on a gondola ride.


This was our gondolier.

By far one of the best weekends ever.
