Italy Day 1 - Venice

The Trolls have made it to Italy! After a stop in Philadelphia and an eight hour flight to Venice, we made it. We landed in the morning so we had plenty of time to get a head start exploring the city. We took a train to the island of Venice. Then we got to exploring. We walked over bridges and through many alleys. We had time to wander with each other looking for lunch. My group decided to try pizza and gelato. It was all very delicous! We then walked some more to the beautiful Doge Palace and St. Mark's Square. We had some more time to explore on our own around St. Mark's Square. I look forward to going inside and the tours in the Palace tomorrow. Today was the perfect day to get familar with Venice. Tomorrow we have lots of plans with boat rides, glass blowing, a gondola ride, and going inside Doge's Palace. I am excited to go inside to see where the Doge lived and where he worked. This is just the beginning so, check back in tomorrow to see our next exciting adventures.
