Venezia - Part Two

 

These Pictures Were Taken By My Friend Jules:

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
