Although Venice was VERY touristy, I really enjoyed my time there. Typically, not knowing if the street I’m going down is the right one or not drives me crazy. However, this was the case the entire time we were in Venice and I loved every minute of it. Whether we knew where we were going or not, every turn leads you to a new maze or an unexpectedly low ceiling. I loved seeing all the different shops and knick knacks.
I was especially happy that we were able to go to Murano and see all the glassworks there. It was amazing to see the pieces they made and the range from classical to more modern work.
The Biennale was a fun stop on the trip as well as all the Pavilions were so diverse in what they displayed. My absolute favorite was Romania because it had a swing set and a ping pong table. It was really fun and a successful exhibit because it got attendees to interact with it.
