Venezia

Venice is so gorgeous! Not as much to do as in Rome or Florence, but the most beautiful by far in my book! Here, again, are a few photos from my few days in Venezia, Italia:

Love this row of houses. A view from our boat that I fixed a little to show the color a bit better.

This is what I picture, when I think of Italy.

Some lover's locks on the Ponte dell'Accademia.

My first attempt at watercolor on a pen drawing of the Ponte Vecchio from a ledge off of the Ponte Santa Trinita back in Florence.

Ciao from Italy!

Well I've been in Italy for almost three weeks now and I'll be headed home on the 14th of June. I've already taken about 1,900 photos between Florence, Siena, and Rome. We head to Venice on Tuesday for a couple of nights and Pisa next Saturday! Our apartment is pretty adorable; only a block North of Santa Croce. We've been drawing and sketching quite a bit and of course shopping! I've also seen a lot of famous works of art! Here are just a few of my favorite filter-free photos from the trip thus far:

A new charm of the Duomo for my bracelet.

Oh Canada

It's not the usual travel post, but I did go to a new country this weekend! Though it may not be as exciting as flying to Europe or something, I visited the country of Canada for the first time! Hard to believe considering I've lived in Michigan my whole life.

My boyfriend lives over near the Blue Water Bridge, so we drove across and spent a couple of hours in Sarnia, Ontario enjoying the view from under the bridge and walking around. We even tried some fries from a little stand they had nearby.

Apologies

Sorry I haven't posted in forever! I've noticed that I have these blogger highs and lows! When I'm on a blogger high, I'm able to post every day and I just always have ideas for what I want to write about, but when I'm on a low, I feel like it doesn't matter because no one reads my blog and I just don't want to put forth the effort. So here's a little catch-up: The week after Europe, I went camping with my family in Ludington and here are a few pictures from that trip:
P.S. I move into my dorm in only 5 days!! I'll definitely be posting pictures of that!

European Excursion

So there were a few changes on the itinerary for this trip... Instead, we started out staying a few nights in Paris, then stayed two nights in Ghent, Belgium, then Terneuzen, Netherlands, and lastly Zurich, Switzerland. It was definitely the trip of a lifetime!
