switzerland and venice
So i had a very busy weekend this past 2 days as you can tell by all my facebook pictures. On Saturday me and my mom took an ITR trip to Lugano, Switzerland. It's about 3 and a half hours away. We went on a lake curise on lugano lake which was very nice and then we got to go around the city of Lugano on our own and go shopping which was fun and got some lunch. Then it started raining so we went for cover and did some window shopping for a bit then when it stopped we took a cable car up a HUGE mountian. It was so beautiful at the top and a little scary, haha. It was alot of fun.
On sunday after dad got back from a small day at work we decided to take a trip to venice for the afternoon and evening. We were going to take a train thats like 5 min. from our house but the machine to give us tickets was down so we just drove instead. It seemed like it was going to be a pretty day but soon after walking around the city it started to rain on us so we took cover til it ended. Then it rained again later but this time it started hailing like crazy. good thing we took cover again. We ate just outside of Saint Marks Square. Thats one of my favorite places in Venice. I have been there 4 times now and i wouldn't mind going back. We watched as these HUGE curise ships went by, it was awesome and i wouldnt mind going on one of those. I finally got me a venetian mask. I like it and im going to get another one to sorta match it. I will probably buy that one from post but i def wanted to get one that was straight from venice. I am in the process of getting some videos on youtube. they are so big i didnt know what else to do with them..lol. I will post a link of them on here so that you guys can see. And of course today is my 21st birthday!!!! it is exciting. not exactly sure what we are going to do today but im excited it is finally here. I opened the presents joe got me when i got the package which was like a week ago...hehe..he got me a very pretty necklace, a cd, and Lost on DVD season 1 YESS!!! For our one year a couple months ago he got me Greys Anatomy seasons 1 & 3 so now i got all these seasons that i am starting to collect. Those though are my two favorite shows.

right now i am chillin in italy with the family. We just had the fourth of july festivities on post which were fun. It's not quite the same as back in the states. We let our "host country" celebrate it for us but seeing last years and this years it is more for them. Most things are in euros, they have italian bands and there are more of them then us. It's our holiday, but whatever.
im in the process of applying to vet school. i really need to work on it. With my senior year coming up quick who knows where i will end up. i want to be close to family but i also want to be close to joe (boyfriend). He means alot to me and distance ruined my last relationship.
well i think i am going to leave pics to facebook. we will see.
