Buongiorno!

After a fun night at catalina’s many of us were tired when we arrived at the station at 8pm wednesday. Yet, we were all excited to visit venice and have the whole day off. Furthermore, Freja turned 18 so we all celebrated her. We started our day in Venice at the St Mark’s Square, where we saw the famous cathedral church, Saint Mark's Basilica.

In venice many of us went to see the Guggenheim museum, which was beautiful because of the many different forms of art fx figures, paintings, sculptures and light installations. Otherwise we all ate our last italian lunch and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings. The boys of our class had other interests in mind when it came to venice. We were more focused on food so we decided to seek out a very nice restaurant where we ate a nice traditional italian meal. We then decided to wander around venice in search of some nice photos and churches while getting lost in the proces. We eventually found a church where we spoke to a priest who explained some information about the church in italien which we tried to understand. The weather cleared up a bit later in the day and we enjoyed each other's company while exploring venice's many canals and landmarks. We rounded of the day in venice with a nice beer in a little cafe where we enjoyed the atmosphere and free wifi. After a long but great day we went to have dinner with our italiens and the greek exchange students, whom we’re also visiting Padua.
