I complained a lot about Venice but in reality it wasn't too bad. It was my own fault for getting lost. I didn't really have a map. I just had a mental picture that I was trusting myself to find my way with. I'm not sure what I was thinking actually. Besides that, Italy is just super hot which is expected for August. I think the crowds are frustrating me too. So i think the heat and people got the best of me and I took it out on Venice. In reality, it was pretty cool. There isn't a whole lot to see, but I am glad I got to experience the vibe and flow of the city. I think the most interesting thing was the line to see San Marco was the longest line I have ever seen. When I realized there was a mass at 10 I got to sneak in a side door. There were a million people in line yet only 7 people in the mass in the side chapel. Kinda sad. However, I then walked right into the church without waiting in any line and thanked Jesus for that one!
Overall, Italy is beautiful. The art and architecture is incredible. I've been in Florence for a couple of days and actually got a little burned out. Running around crazy from city to city, arriving in Florence and trying to see the David and Duomo and all of that stuff had me absolutely exhausted. I decided to get a hotel and chill for a day before heading to Rome. It was a good decision and here I am refreshed and ready to meet up with my friend Tiff from Saint Mary's who has been living in Rome for almost 5 years. I'm catching a one o'clock train and will be in Rome before 3. Not too bad!
