Updates

Sooooo a lot has happened since I last was on here. The survivor from the holocost was amazing... He spoke german and had a translator but he had some great things to say. Then Monday we toured the city of Vienna on bikes!!! Really fun. Then we went to prater amussement park... Unfortunately we only had a half hour to ride rides... But we had to pay for them so I only went on the ferris wheel. Then we drove a while to the town of Freisach... Where we enjoyed an entertaining dinner and mideivel games... And then what originally concerned me was that we had to sleep in tents!!!! That was definitely not on the itinerary... But it turned out to be fun. We had a bonfire and marshmallows and the next morning was beautiful. Then we drove to the small town of sirintz ...where a very nice lady made us apfel strudel... Which I'm not kidding ive eaten that everyday I have been in Austria. But it is sooooo good :). We got to see a typical Austrian farm and a water mill- you can drink any water in Austria because I guess it comes straight from the mountains so it is all fresh and it tastes really really good. Then everyone got to throw a wish down the river which was a real sentimental moment. Later we drove for 7 hrs on the cramped bus to Italy!!!! Yes I was so excited that I finaly made it here, but everyone was complaining because we kept getting stuck in traffic- not to mention we were in the middle of cornfields and there was traffic. People stayed pretty entertained on the bus though by putting makeup on the guys and playing charades and stuff. Last night we arrived at the hotel at 11:45pm. Wow long day.
Today was incredible though. Unfortunately had to wake up at 6:30am but we went to Venice so I was good!!! It was amazing. Beautiful place. The streets can be very narrow and crowded but it was so cool to cross the bridges to get from place to place and to ride in a gondola!!! So much fun. :)
Tomorrow were going to Florence to see the statue of David!
Talk to you all soon!!!
