Carnivale

Ciao Everyone! Welcome back to Venice! Amazing! So heres the story. For Carnival (a festival for eating drinking and being merry before Lent) Rotary brought us all to Venice! The most famous place for Carnival. (But other places in Italy have really cool celebrations as well). We were there for an entire day! Unfortunatly it was the day before the real festivities started so it wasnt as crazy as it could have been. But still an awesome day. We first stopped at a mask shop. Where they make and paint masks by hand. Absolutely beautiful! I got the mask im wearing in the photo and wore it the rest of the day! Fantastic! I know! Now I mentioned that I had the plan to dress up for Carnival. Unfortunatly the weather was a bit ugly so we couldnt bring the costumes. I was very sad (The costumes werent ours we were borowing them) So I didnt actually get to dress up. But more happened! For lunch we went to a simple typical Venice bar/resturant and had spaghetti. Normal right? No. The spaghetti was surved with octopus and a generous amount of octopus ink... Which I didnt know you could eat... It was actually really good and we ended up having a mini contest about who could get the blackest lips. So fun. (oh I won!) After that we went to Piazo San Marco where we were set free and told to meet back at the train station at 6:45. Surprisingly we all made it on time! That was Carnivale a Venezia! STRABELLA! Oh and I made this video for you all... unfortunatly... we're all a bunch of goof balls. So please ignor the comment about dead bodies... thanks
