There isn’t too much going on in my life right now, just classes, homework, and clubs. It’s not too hectic since I’m slacking and only taking 12 credits this semester, but my procrastination habits are bringing me down.
And now continuing with Europe…
Day 5: Venice, Italy
My second day in Venice involved barely any walking since my dad and my brother insisted on taking the city bus…or should i say boat. :) Boat rides are super relaxing with the waves crashing and the sun shining down. If only NJ Transit incorporated boats into their modes of transportation.
The gondolas in Venice were absolutely gorgeous; I swear you could get married in one. There’s dark red and gold cushions and tassles and it’s just amazing. I don’t think I’d ever ride in one though since the prices are ridiculously high.
My mom was being really cute that day when I asked her to take my pictures for this blog. She saw a random alley way and told me to walk so she could get some shots. I think she was more into it than I was. :)
(If only I had a boat like the one above…)
We revisited St. Mark’s Square in the day time. It’s still very romantic but more lively (and obviously brighter). My mom went camera happy here too while the male members of the family stood around waiting. :P
I finally noticed that their street lamps were pink! How gorgeous is that?
Until next time! :)

the shot above isn’t that amazing since i was in a hurry to get the father with his child dancing to the live music. :)
until next time, jen
standing on the ponte vecchio bridge. it was super crowded and most of the stores were jewelry stores. the morning sunlight made for some gorgeous photos:
i saw a few people painting the bridge a distance away. it looked so relaxing. sometimes i wish i could just wake up, sit next to a river, and paint all morning :)
this pose isn’t natural haha. i was copying a statue outside of the uffizi gallery (not pictured). the line was really long so i snapped a shot or two. florence is such a lovely city.
the humidity in italy didn’t do much for my hair. can anyone say sun damage? i should really use some kind of spf leave-in conditioner.
hellooooo mr. leaning tower of pisa. or would it be ms. leaning tower?
there’s a booty shot for you guys. i got to break in my converses from all of the walking. i’m not one to take good care of anything material so my shoes got pretty dirty. at least i didn’t fall into a puddle of mud (which i tend to do in heels).
above is the beautiful Palazzo Vecchio; it used to be a huge meeting area back in the day where annoucements would be given. i saw the copy of the infamous David. if you look closely in the picture you can see David looking oh-so-handsome in the shadows.
one last note: why are trees in italy so freaking gorgeous??? new jersey has plenty of trees, but none like the ones in italy.
isn’t the architecture just gorgeous? europe always amazes me with all the detailing and hardwork that went into these buildings.
