As I am entering my last week in Venice, I can’t help but to
think how lucky I am. With all the studying and traveling this semester, I
began to take for granted what a beautiful city Venice is. My weekly trips to
the grocery store, and even my daily runs began to become to routine, I began
to be more annoyed with all the tourists than amazed at the sights around me.
One of my favorite views of Venice is from the water. Whether I am crossing a
bridge across the Grand Canal or taking a vaporetto, the view is so much
different than anything you will see when walking the streets. At night, the
lights reflecting on the water are unreal, and I can’t help but think, my life
is a postcard and this semester I have been living a dream that many only see
on the Travel Channel.
