Oct. 13
This morning we woke up early so that we could go to the market. We got some food. Before exploring some more.
In Venice you can't get tap water at restaurants. You have to pay for water, and it's usually a couple euros. But they do have fountain like things.
You can fill your water bottle in these fountains. They pump fresh, cold water in from the Alps. Moral, when travelling in Venice, always bring a water bottle.
In the afternoon we rested. So great to be able to relax. We stayed in a flat, so we had a living room with a couch, and a kitchen. It was great! Especially compared to the tiny room that I currently live in.
We popped out to get some food in the afternoon, as a storm came in.
It made me wonder how the whole place doesn't shut down during storms. There are only boats, and you shouldn't be boating in storms, especially thunderstorms, but people weren't trying to leave the water. Plus, you have to have emergency services, which are also by boat.
Being Thanksgiving and all, we decided to do something. Thanksgiving doesn't exist in Europe, so we had an Italian thanksgiving. Pasta, homemade meatballs, and lots of parmesan cheese. I'm thankful for everything! My family, my friends, and this trip of a lifetime.
