02/07/09 - Venice Day 3

Bleeeeeh. Wandering around the streets of Venice with 100000000 pound backpacks is lovely. We felt disgusting.

Since we didn't do much, here is my reflection on Venice: Nicest place we've been so far. There are no cars nor bikes, so to get anywhere, you either take a boat, or walk. We hear locals greeting each other often, with cheerful "Cia-oooo"s. The pacing of life just seems more relaxed and carefree. I would love to retire to Venezia one day. Crusing along the canal, there was a kind of solomn tragedy about the abandoned buildings, once so grand, and now slowly sinking away.

Cute moment: A couple in a gondola were being serenaded by their gondoliers, while drifting under a bridge. A girl standing on the bridge chimed in sweetly.

Not so cute: Massive bite on my arm:
