While in Venice...

Alright! Now onto Venice, while I still have an internet connection. We packed up earlier this week and got a cabin car all to ourselves. We had beer and whiskey and vodka to drink in the train, so it made for a great train ride over to the Island!! Hahaha good times. We got to Venice around 8.30pm and found our hotel. There was a bit of a mix up with the rooms that we got, but we got it figured out....haha John....Got myself ready and we went walking around Venice at night. It was GORGEOUS, Omigoodness. I just kept thinking about momma and how much I wanted her to be there. We went to St. Marco's square by nighttime, and there are all these italian guys selling red roses all over the square. They kept acosting us over and over and over again....they are so pushy! At one point, an italian guy said I could have a rose for free and put it down my shirt. I whipped the rose on the ground and told the guy where to stick it hahaha. I don't put up with that! We spent two days in Venice, eating pizza and delicious food, drinking coffees in venetian cafes, wandering around and soaking up the sights. It was so sad this afternoon to say goodbye to the three of them. John and Erik are heading back to Oslo, Norway where they live...and work at Ikea! I love it. Anna is moving there to live with John as well. They had an extra plane ticket to Oslo and I almost took it, but I still have so much I want to see. Today is the first day I've really felt homesick. I really miss everyone and I've been so overwhelmed with how expensive everything is, I don't know how I will last out here. But I am trooping through, trying to keep the same enthusiam I had when I landed in Europe. This infection is pretty bad and I am scared to see a doctor here too because of the cost and language barrier. I do have my travel insurance so it will be all good, I hope.
