Today we travelled to the beautiful city of Venice. Venice is cut off from the Italian mainland and required a short boat ride in order to reach it. Venice is home to 60,000 residents and 15-20 million tourists per year. Venice is known for its glass blowing. We had a private demonstration in which one of Venices' finest performed the craftful art. Much of the team enjoyed riding the gondolas that strolled through the canals of Venice. I preferred to travel the back streets, where we got lost and actually enjoyed the magnificent Venice culture. We also were taught how to distinguish the way Italian generals died in war based upon the number of hooves their horse had on the ground. Three legs on the ground meant they died at home from battle wonds. Four legs on the ground meant they died from natural causes, non-battle related. Two legs on the ground meant they died in battle. Overall, Venice was sweet. It is definitley a place I would see again.
