Pronto Venezia

We had a wonderful start to our first day in Italy! We explored ( found an amazing art store!) enjoyed some gelato and had some piazza time shopping, listening to outdoor musicians and being able to properly adjust ourselves to a new place/time/language. We are enthusiastic to take on Venice tomorrow as we have an experienced tour guide leading our group. We will explore some hidden historical/art treasures and for those who wish to experience a gondola ride may do so with a group. We are thankful for our leader Teresa who has been an incredible anchor and Simone our bus driver! This evening we gathered as a family to pray together ( in Italian) Grace Before Meals with an intention offered to our parents thanking them for this unforgettable experience. At this time students have all had room checks and are so tired that we are sure they are going to have a sound sleep under this gorgeous Italian sky. Buona Notte!
