“To my mind, the greatest reward and luxury of travel is to be able to experience everyday things as if for the first time, to be in a position in which almost nothing is so familiar it is taken for granted.” - Bill Bryson

Venezia - Part One
I got a chance to go to Venice this weekend with my lovely friends Julie and Lyndsay. Even though I remembered certain parts of Venice from my trip in 2005, I was still able to explore and find new things to admire. It was much foggier than expected but I was still able to take in the beauty of Venice. I will definitely have to go back when it's warmer. Here are some pictures I took. Again, not the best pictures because of the fog but I hope you enjoy them. Miss you all! - Mia
