Summer in northern Italy

Summer in Italy was a different experience for me. I have never been to Italy before, and I was so surprised about the country. They have a very special architecture there and I really liked it. 
On day we went to the floating city of  Venice, which was a great experience. Such a beautiful city, and very funny to see how they only use foot or boat to get around in the city. There were so many people and some places the streets were very crowded and it felt kinda claustrophobic to walk around there. My family and I tried to find some places where there were not that many people and somehow we ended up at a jail. Fun experience but also kinda scary, we hurried out from there before anyone saw us. I think that Venice is a city that you at some point in life has to visit, because it is very different from any other place. Although I would probably never go back, because I feel like it's just a one time thing. Very pretty and interesting, but not a city I need to visit twice. 
I would really like to go to Rome, because I'm sure that is very different from Venice. 
All in All it was a great trip, and my family and I had a ton of fun together. We also got to try some of the Italian specialties, which are so food. There is nothing wrong with the food in Italy, and I can more than recommend it. 

  

Very cute and tired dog laying in front of a store.

Very pretty masks, which me and my sister also ended up buying two of.

Lake Garda, which was right next to our campground.

Friendship is one of the greatest things in life

You know you have a great friend, that when you say goodbye you start crying and laughing at the same time. I had the greatest two weeks with my wonderful friend Jaime in the US. All the time I wish that we didn't live this far from each other, because we really did have so much fun. The past six month before my trip had been pretty rough, so just getting away and getting to be with a good friend was all I needed. It was so nice finally not having to worry about school and everything else, and I really felt like I got to just enjoy myself and the time I was able to spent with Jaime. 

So sad that can't just stop by her house for a couple of hours, but I'm so sure we'll be able to stay in contact until we see each other again, which we will!!
