March 11-14, 2008- Venice

The group spent three nights in Venice before we were free to go on Spring Break. The weather was perfect for us which enable us to see so much! The first day there we went on a historic walking tour of St. Mark’s district. From there many of us went to the Interpreti Veneziana concert at San Vidal.

The next day we met Paolo to visit St. Mark’s Basilica, the treasury, the Pala d’Oro, and St. Mark’s horses. We then met Peter Lang who took us to the Carlo Scarpa Museum and then to the Guggenheim Museum.

During our free time we wondered around Venice attempting to get lost (which was pretty easy to do!) The streets are small and there are many canals and bridges all throughout the Island. Venice was a wonderful city and we are all happy we got the opportunity to visit.
