Euro Rap-up #2

Here is some photo's of Venice. As I mentioned previously Venice is an amazing city, the hierarchy of the planning and architecture is so well established and authoritative. You can easily sense the historical presence and feel what life was like just by walking through the city and all its small alleys. Here's some long awaited pictures. Sorry I have been so slow at this, Jordy-pie looks like shes keeping up really well. And luckily enough our blogs will cross paths again soon... details to follow.

Salute, Felicities shool was right around the block from this church, who wouldn't mind going to school there?


Island of Burano, I'll never forget the way the vaporetto lady said the name of this island. So loud and routine.

Euro Rap-up #1

Sorry its been so long folks. I really should have posted earlier. I have been back
in the good ole USA for about a month now and was doing something I hadn't done in months... be extremely lazy. It fealt really good actually and was much needed.

The semester and my travels ended overall very well. However if you were to look at it
on a graphic chart it would probably look like this:


Most of those downpoint's being attributed to a pessimistic professor, but I didn't let that ruin my spirits. The final trip to the island was pretty fun. And we got our benches done, I'll leave it at that. And the process of getting to, and checking out Venice was although financially stressful at times, very relaxing and fun. I got to see one of the most spectacular cities in the history of the world. And although I too was one of the (what felt like millions) of tourists exploring the city I got to see it simultaneously as a local from the help and hospitality of my aunt, uncle and cousin.
