hey everyone! i'm in beautiful venice tonight. (ok, well actually i am in a campsite very close to venice, but i am going into the city tomorrow morning, so i will be there soon). just finished with rome and vatican city yesterday. it was all so amazing. i can't even describe it in words. but i took lots of pictures, so you can see when i get back (i think i am up to over 400 now - and i'm only half done with my trip). went into saint peter's basilica and the vatican museum and saw the sistine chapel. everything was just amazing.
florence was also beautiful. went to the duomo and the santa croce church. some of the people on the trip have given me the nickname "cath" because i want to check out all of the cathedrals. yeah, i'm a dork like that. but they are so amazing! they make fun of me because i want to go, and then they all come with me and area amazed as well. it is funny.
it has been ridiculously hot here the last few days, especially in rome. i thought i was going to die as we were walking around the colosseum and the old ruins. so, i'm eating lots of yummy gelati (my favorite flavor combo is pistachio and chocolate, although melon is really good too) to keep cool. i am drinking about 3 litres of water a day just to stay hydrated. it's insane.
i'm having lots of fun with the australians on the trip. they are crazy and we are all having a wonderful time. i will try to keep you all updated as much as i can the next few days. tomorrow i go into venice and go on a gondola ride and go to saint mark's church. the day after that we travel to austria and go white water rafting. should be lots of fun.
ok, so i am almost out of time here at the internet cafe. talk to you all soon. love you lots! (btw, haven't sent any postcards yet because i haven't had time. so consider this your postcard. :))
