Hello from Venice.....
What a trip we have had so far! Today we had an early morning wake up call in Florence so that we could board our bus for our next city, Venice. We made two pit stops along our 6 hour drive. First we stopped to see the Leaning Tower of Pisa which was a cool sight to visit. The tower which was originally built to be the tallest tower in the city began leaning because the soil below the tower was too soft to hold the weight of the marble used to construct it. After spending some time sight seeing and shopping we again boarded our bus and headed to our next stop a winery in the Tuscan region. The food was great and I can't wait to try out some new recipes when we get home. We are now safely in Venice and looking forward to tomorrow. We have scheduled a gondola ride tomorrow afternoon and have a glass blowing demonstration tomorrow morning. Missing you all and can't wait to share photos and stories when I return!
Ciao from Brittany
