Venice

Went to Venice today. It was awesome. I splurged and bought a really beautiful mask. I also bought a bunch of souvenirs for people, something which I have yet to be able to do. Anyways, here are pictures:

Kristin and I stayed up all night in order to try and knock our terrible sleeping habit of going to sleep at 6am. We had very little sleep on the 2.5 hour train ride to Venice, then walked around for 7 hours or so until we were exhausted.

If you ever go to Venice, and want to see everything, give yourself more than one day.

Rich Life in Milan

So here in Milano, there are a few canals. The neighborhoods on the canals are considered fairly rich and well off areas. They are also well known areas for going out; lots of good restaurants and bars. One of my friends lives in an apartment building on one of the canals and yesterday she threw a birthday party for her and her sister. Here are a few pictures from the night.

What happens when you have nothing to do?

You entertain yourself in any way imaginable... Including playing with mattresses.. Pictures can be found here:

There are also a few videos:
