Venice

Last week, my host mom surprised me with a two-day trip to Venice. We left very (too) early Sunday morning and spent all day in the city, where we saw San Marco Square and took boats around the city. Venice is so unique because there are no cars, only canals and boats, so it feels like it's in another period of time, much further behind our own. We visited the Guggenheim Museum, and another museum which houses an old prison where Casanova was kept prisoner. I prefer Venice over Rome or Milan any day. A wonderful parting gift from my host mom!
