Venezia!

            CARNIVAL! I really don’t know why we don’t do the Carnival in Canada! It would be awesome!

            After less than 5 hours of sleep, Maren, Eva, Carlos and I were on our way for Venice! Unluckily, our train arrived 1h30 later! Other exchange students were already there and waiting for us! The first thing we did was getting face paintings! Then we started walking and us girls, always stopped to look at everything and anything!

            Maren and I wanted roosted chestnuts. So we stop at this little stand and buy some. First one we open is rotten, the second one too, then the third one. We each opened at least 5 without eating one entirely! So we went back to the little stand to have our money back! The man didn’t want to because we bought 300 grams (for 5 €) and there were only 200 grams left! He didn’t understand that we threw away the ones that were rotten! While we were trying to have my money back, people were stopping to buy some, but when they saw that they were rotten they just left! At the end, he gave me back 4€. We were sure the he was going the sell the ones we gave back!!

            Later in the after-noon, it started to rain! But it wasn’t that bad. After a while, he noticed that we didn’t have a lot of time before we had to take the train back home. So we stopped looking in the shops and started walking fast because we wanted to go in ‘’Piazza San Marco ‘’. We were able to go, but we didn’t have the time to stop! At the end, we had to run to take our train! We were able to take it, but we were sitting in the alley because the train was so full! Then we stopped at a little station and we learned that we were stopping for 15 minutes. So Eva and I went at the bar (café) to get water and food. As we were getting out of the bar, we were at the intercom that the train is leaving! So once again, we ran! We were just on time!

            I really think I have to go another time to really take the time to see the city, because I didn’t really see it! But it was still fun!
