Gondola Ride
What a day! Starting at 6:30 this morning, we have been in a taxi, train, Gondola, bus, plane, another bus and a lot walking. Our train to Venice was disgusting! All of the trains before this train, have been very nice and very clean. When the conductor came around to check our tickets we found out that we were sitting in first class. We either had to pay an additional 11 Euro each or move to coach. We had all our luggage with us and didn't want to move, so paid the money to stay in our seats and we really didn't want to find out what coach had to offer. Venice was beautiful - exactly what you would picture. We went on a Gondola ride, which was really cool! We are really happy that we came to Venice today, even though we only had 4 hours - it was worth it! Mindy and Jennifer went a little crazy in the glass stores. Venice is known for their glass, so we got caught up in the moment. Brandi was a trooper; she stood outside in the scorching heat waiting for us crazy tourists! Mindy and Jennifer are catching the 8:00am bus tomorrow morning so we can catch our 10:20 am flight home. We have a couple of layovers and hope to arrive in Indy at 9pm tomorrow night. Thank you for following our journey through Europe with us. Ciao!

Girls, I had such a lovely time with you both. I miss you already - separation anxiety stinks. I hope you had as nice of time as me. I will part with some key phrases...spaghetti funk, hot messes, dance party usa, i want pasta, i want gelato and this is 1st class?
Hope you made it home without too many issues!! Better start putting together a scrapbook of sorts!
