Venice: Part One #HogsAbroad

The three of us are currently on a train to Venice, and the view is amazing. It’s been distracting me from writing all these blogs! The train was cheaper than airlines and much cheaper than the euro rail too, so that doesn’t hurt. Rome was stressful at points, but absolutely amazing, so I’m sad to see it go. It was fun walking in the middle of side streets, walking in front of cars to cross major ones, and the great weather didn’t hurt either. However, I am looking forward to relaxing for a couple of days in Venice, as there’s not much there we all want to do.

We have also finally diverged from some other American’s studying at Essex. They were in Paris and Rome a day before us each, but our trips overlapped and we even saw the same things one day! It almost seemed like we were following them but, now they’re in Switzerland by Lake Lucerne, which I’m very jealous of. That said I’m really excited for a gondola ride and to see Venice!

Until next time,
Reed
