Day 23: Venezia, Italia!

We arrived sometime around 7 AM into ITALIA!!!!!!!

We headed to the hostel we had looked up and they luckily had rooms for us. We just dropped our stuff off and went exploring.

We bought bus passes, which we never really need, they never checked, and headed into the city. We wandered around all day hitting up places like Piazza San Marco and the Rialto Bridge.  DSC06568on the Rialto

After the bridge, we took a nap literally on the side of the street. I was wearing a NC State shirt and a lady walked by and said “YEAH WOLFPACK!” WHAT THE HECK??!

Then we headed back to the Piazza to people watch and eat lunch. We had delicious turkey and bread, such a nice switch from salami.

Then it was gelato time! I got Fruitti di bosco and Fo got chocolate and pistacchio…so typical for him.

As we were eating it, two people asked if we went to State because of my shirt. We said YUP and it turned out they were from Greensboro. We talked with Juliet and Jeff for a good 30 minutes and then talked about how we were headed to Greece. They said they used to live on Andros and told us to come visit  {this was seriously our plan for a while, but we decided on Santorini instead}DSC06598

We walked around more, took more pictures, and ran into them again. We found a cute little place for dinner where we had lasagna, which was delicious and had peas on it. Then we bought nutella and bread for dessert at our hostel!!! :)
