Venice was one of the most amazing places I have ever been, and so far, it has been a great trip! We have had many interesting adventures from hunting for coffee shops, gondola rides, and singing in San Marco Square. The food is so good here, and I swear that the Italians are trying to fatten us up with three course meals and tons of gelato. One of the best things we did was go to a glass blowing place where they created handmade glass vases and figurines. I was so impressed at the glass blower's ability to craft items at an amazing speed! The pieces were so detailed that it was hard to believe that they were done by hand. One of the best experiences I have ever had was performing in San Marco Square. We began singing that night in the square, and within a few minutes, we had a huge crowd around us! Singing for the public really completed a fantastic day in Venice. I miss my parents and sister back home, and I love y'all!

Venice was beautiful. After a LONG day of travel, it was great to be able to explore the city. We had an exciting time trying to navigate through the narrow streets to find places to eat and shop while avoiding the obvious tourist traps. Italian pizza was amazing! It's unbelievable to think that many of the buildings and sites we have and will see are older have been around for hundreds of years longer than anything in America. Cody Sims is the greatest person in the world. I've had a great time attempting to understand where everything is and find my way through shops, restaurants, and the city, while trying to avoid the always present street vendors who will take as much as you have for a rose or small toy. So far, Italy is fabulous, and I know it will only get better!
