The Carnevale in Venice is very famous, especially around europe. So yesterday Antonio and I took the day off and went to Venice with our friends Adriano and Silvia, since it was Martedi Grasso, i.e. Mardi Gras! It was the last day of carnival and it was sooo much fun! Some man got in the way of our group picture, so I had to crop him out, but you can still see his nose.
We walked around all of venice and saw so many different kinds of costumes... some people were dressed up regular kind of costumes you might see on Halloween in the U.S., but there were some that were dressed up in the traditional Venetian Carnevale way...
When we were on the train out there we saw all this military men, which was kind of cool since I had never seen so many of them together before, so I had Antonio pose near them... since he did the military thing before starting University. Venice was soooo crowded, but it was worth it, just a little hard to navigate!
There were people everywhere, it took forever to navigate around the town. When it was finally time for lunch we started looking around for stuff to eat, but since there were so many tourists around all the restaurants had raised their prices big time. So int he end we ended up going to McDonalds, even though the line there was super long, but we were too tired to keep on looking. After we ate we walked around and took some pictures and found a bar for some coffee (for Antonio and Silvia) and some Gelato (for Adriano and me)... Here are some pictures:
There is this bar in Venice that is a lot of fun. It is a jazz bar and they have bras left by some of their female clientele hanging all over the cieling. I have been there a few times, but Adriano, Silvia and Antonio hadn't... so we decided to go for happy hour. There was a sign that said "buy 1 get 2" so we had decided to each get a drink and we would only pay for 2, well we were very wrong.... we each ordered our drinks and they brought two for each.... so we ended up with eight drinks total.... so we drank and laughed and had a ton of fun... then we did some shopping and eventually caught the train home.... too much fun!
Hope you had a fun time with all these pictures!
