Venice – My Favorite City

One of my favorite cities we have been to lately is Venice, Italy. It is entirely built on water. There are no streets there so we parked our car in a parking lot outside of Venice for the 5 nights we were there. Since we couldn’t drive we walked everywhere and got to see a lot of the city.

For almost every meal we ate either pizza or pasta! It was REALLY good! We went to a lot of churches and museums every day. Sadly almost every day we were there it was raining and we always got really wet when we went for walks. We would never leave the house without bringing along a few cameras, my dad and I both took tons of photos! 

One night we all went out together on a walk and the water had risen so much that it was almost touching people’s doors! They had elevated sidewalks set out and my sister and I had a good time running across them and walking through the water. 

On our last day in Venice we took a boat/taxi out to another island named Burano. It was a very small island and we almost walked all the way across. It is known for its colorful buildings and it was a really cool place to see! We found a pizza place and had lunch there. Then we got a snack for the boat ride home and then we left!
