Venice the city that will still be with us in 15 years!

So we went to Venice on tuesday for a badger environmental trip. It was very fun.  We walked around in the rain for a bit then we went to this lecture about the lagoon.  I kinda fell asleep for most of it but what I did get from it was that the lagoon is very polluted, what you put in the toilet goes into the lagoon, and the people of Venice are more than just gondola drivers.  they have a lot of pride in their city and they want to save it, therefore they arre working on it and say it will never sink!  So... we'll see! On Monday night we had a badgger dinner at this cool resturant in this marina type thing where they make the boats!  It was delish some meats, pasta and dessert! yum!  then we went back to out creepy hostle that didnt lock and passed out.  On Tuesday we went to a bunch of different islands.  It was pretty cool. we had lunch on one island and then headed back to the main land.  went to s. marco square walked around for a bit then made our way back to the train station!! Great little trip!

Tonight weìre headed to Barcelona!!
