Nearing the end.

Well, we've been in Venice for two days. And I like it so much more than Rome. It's so much more chill and there aren't any annoying bicyclists. Yay for canals with bridges.

Plus, we're always so close to the water which is relaxing. And we are always on boats. The entire bus system is boats as is the taxi system. It's crazy but so nice because I like little boats. :)

The only bad thing about this city is it's proximity to water. Aka mosquitoes. I got a bite the first night and now the back of my left calf has a welt the size of a large apple. :( And I just got two little bites on my right forearm. I don't like these bugs.

Tomorrow we're getting on a train and heading back to Rome. We'll stay at the airport hotel tomorrow night and then fly home on Monday... via Philadelphia.

I feel like once I'm home, I'll update more in-depth and with pictures. :)

Voyages!

Hi friends,

I'm currently on my way to Israel on our ship. We've had lots of crazy adventures thus far and there are definitely more to come!

So far we've been to Rome, Athens and Patmos Greece, and Turkey. Up next is Israel for two days then Egypt for two days, two sea days and then Dubrovnik, Croatia; Ravenna, Italy; and finally Venice, Italy. It's going to be crazy but it's going to be good. :)

(I'm now in Jerusalem after spending the day in Israel and it was a busy day with more adventures tomorrow!)
