Beautiful sunset..
View from the Gondola once we got out to bigger water
CRAZY masks...
The streets of Venice...
Heather and I with our masks doing our lion faces
This person was amazing...the costumes were crazy!!
Ok so maybe it was a little busy...
The second night we got our faces painted instead of wearing our masks!
Gondola ride! From left to right: Jamie, Rada, Heather, Lindsey, Me
I wanted this mask sooooo bad!!!!Ok...so I'm REALLY sorry it's taken me so long to get this updated...Venice was amazing, we stayed at a hotel that was a ways outside of Venice (didn't know that at the time of booking it...) so we took a bus from the airport to the heart of Venice thinking that our hotel was somewhere close to there. We get there and find out that our hotel is actually in Casale Sul Sile, which is like a 20 minute drive from the heart of Venice. We grab a cab and get to the hotel which is very adorable and out in the middle of nowhere...we drop our stuff off, get changed and hop back in the cab to go back to Venice. Mind you...we have been up since 4AM and I had went to bed at 1:30AM...so that's a good 2 and a half hours of sleep - fun times (I did sleep on the hour plane ride and most of the bus ride too so that's good)! So we get back to the heart of Venice and walk around all day. We go on a gondola ride! and thoroughly enjoy ourselves. We had a good night both nights there were concerts out in the main piazza...and here I'll show you some pictures since they take FOREVER to load and writing this is going to take away from picture uploading time!!! So the pictures are above, please enjoy :)

Waay cool face painting and masks. I hear Venice smells awful, haha. Maybe thats only in the summer?
yup! it's only the summer, that's why we figured earlier would be a better time to go, plus - Carnevale!!!! what better reason to go to Venice??!?!
The face painting was absolutely beautiful!
Venice looks beautiful too. It is so strange to look at houses on the canals and think about multiple stories that were once lived in and are now under water.
