Happy St. Patty's Day!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
I hope you are all celebrating it and appreciating Ireland and St. Patrick :)
We're celebrating it here ... but not like how we celebrated it when I was younger - with the east side irish mass, dancing at my aunt's school, freezing in the parade and all the dance shows before.
Last night Meg and I stayed up late baking Irish Soda bread and making Irish Potatoes ... which is candy like, not real potatoes.
This past weekend I went to Venice Italy! Michelle and I took the over night train and got to the main island at 8:30 am. Going over the bridge to the island/lagoon was so amazing, i just kept looking right left right left - I'M SURROUNDED BY WATER!
This was the color of the water. Ice ice. And I don't know how to get rid of this underline ... so it's staying. I loved Venice partially because of how there aren't any cars - it just makes it that much sweeter, picturesque. The canals were just perfect and some of the gondoliers were wearing stripped shirts. Ah! I loved it all. Some people told me it smelled horrible and was dirty, but I mean it smelled fishy sometimes (esp. since our hostel was by a fish market) but I mean, we were surrounded by water. Ok, well I don't know how to handle technical things like blogs and this is funny looking, yea. Off to class.
