From Athan: Hello everyone! Today was our first official day in Venice Italy. Yesterday we arrived by plane and then took a boat to the city. Throughout the city are many canals and rivers. The total layout of the city is made up of many different islands with canals in between. All of the buildings are very tall because there is not much room to expand the buildings outwards. Today we took a tour of the city with the owner of the Airbnb. It was very informative and we all learned a lot about Venice. We learned about the makeup of the cities, what the large building and palaces were made for and even what the paintings and mosaics were representing. Overall, today was amazing and we had an awesome time exploring the city.
