I just realized that I haven't posted on here in a while. Not because I've been busy... simply because I haven't thought too. Well, no I have... but whatever. The point is I'm writing right? Of courses right. So yeah... RYE went to Venice,Italy last weekend. A lovely 10 hour bus ride there, twelve short hours to explore an amazing city filled with art, culture, and history, and a 10 hour bus ride back. Venice is everything the books, movies, and pictures make it to be and so much more. Miles and miles of little alley ways, shops with everything from perfume to butterfly knives, singing gondola guys, and restaurants with everything from Pizza to pirsciutto and brie sandwhiches. Argh my spelling has gotten so bad >.< I went exploring this amazing city with Ariana (Florida) and Frank (California) we tried to go off the beaten path whenever possible. (not the sketchy unbeaten path, more like the residential unbeaten path) and found some amazing little churches filled with hundreds of years of art work and small squares with apartments surrounding a large well. With not a tourist in sight. Frank and Ari knew their way around Venice pretty well because they are Assasin's Creed fanatics which was super funny and helpful at the same time. For those of you who don't know assasin's creed, its a video game that has used the google maps street view to enhance their game. Ooh on Tuesday Sam and I had our Rotary Presentation, I'd like to think that went reasonably well. It was a presentation on the United States so the fact that I live on the West Coast and Sam on the East I think helped a lot as far as a good presentation goes. There were some Swedish Folk visiting our club too so I had the honor of repeating
Me- "Hi I'm Katie from California'
Them- "is your last name Perry"
Me- "..."
I guess I should count my blessings that they didn't start singing California Girls...
So yeah Venice was amazing, school is going great and my Hungarian is getting better everyday :) I'm so close to actually being able to form sentences! :D
