SO MUCH TO CATCH UP ON!

Combined with the fact that our internet is crap and we cant download or upload anything and the fact that we've been farting around every single free moment we have....It has been a while since I have uploaded anything!

A quick re-cap!

Venice!



View from our hotel room, overlooking the Grand Canal

Ready to go into the church!

Best church. Ever.
 Byzantine architecture is where it's at. 




View from the original Jewish Ghetto.
Highlight- Trying to sneak in to the synagogue and being caught/yelled at by the obnoxious tour guide.

Germany, Belgium, Horses and Venice!

Woah. So much has happend, sorry for the lack of updates.

Germany:


Annie and I met up in Dusseldorf last friday. 



Classic Brockwurst. I can't believe I ate this.



We went for bike rides along the Rhine...


 The Cathedral in Cologne, 


Belgium:


Awesome flea market that happens every day


The Grand Place

Our day trip to the city of Brugge.


Siena


We went to the Palio- an anual horse race in Tuscany. Each of the 10 districts sends a rider and a horse to race. 




Each are represented by scarves. Annette and I clearly just picked which ever ones we thought were cute.


My team (the snails!) Won! They had this huge feast in their district afterwards

Venice!



Watching the euro cup final: Italy V. Spain....
Fail. 

View from our hotel in Venice

St. Mark's cathedral!
