While in Italy, I decided to distract myself from modern day society’s technological advances. We began our third day in Venice, a quaint and beautiful and ancient city right on the water. Due to our budget and transportation systems, my group and I decided to walk around and explore the city by foot. We saw beautiful boutiques that contained genuine hand blown glass, hand painted candles, and local cheese and wine shops. Throughout this time, I was very tempted to use my SLR camera, but was happy that I took photos of the city the previous days.
As we walked along the paths, we made our way towards the most famous plaza that had pigeons everywhere! We took bread and began to feed them, and they flew on our arms and hands to eat the bread. At this time, I was very tempted to take photos, and luckily, some people got photos of me. (That is still obeying my personal usage of technology.)
We then made our way back to the hotel, where Dominic and Margaret would meet us and direct the group towards the nearest train station. Here, we took a train towards a small city known as Sienna. The train ride was three hours long, and I wanted to take out my iPod but chose to take a nap instead. It was so tempting the entire time, especially since everyone else had headphones in.
We arrived in Sienna, where we took a bus to the smaller town we stayed in. We arrived, walked to our hotel, and unpacked. After, we went out to dinner and desert, and then went back to the room to play a game of cards and hang out with friends. Overall, the day wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be, but I figure it is because of the amount of time I used to spend time with others.
