Europe Part 2
It was long time coming, but without further ado, here is my second half of my trip to Europe.
Venice. I felt like I was just walking around in a dream. It is one of the most beautiful places I have been to. It is so romantic, and charming. I loved traveling everywhere by boat. They have a whole system there very similar to our bus system but instead one travels by boat. I loved eating gelato and hot chocolate as thick as pudding. I loved the art of the architecture and the bright pink buildings. I loved the girls on the water bus who were laughing at me because I kept dozing off on the long boat ride. I don't think they knew that they lived in one of the most beautiful places in the world. Maybe they did. I loved people watching on the public transportation. It is the same as here but a little different. I blushed when I caught a strangers eye, just like I do here. I loved the constant sound of water lapping against the stone of the buildings. I loved the old buildings: churches dedicated to saints to stop the black-death, palaces for the powerful rulers of Venice, the towers with the triangle tops. I loved the way light danced on the canal water at night. Venice.

Beatles Rock Band
So I love the beatles. They make great music.

But. Do you know what I love most!??!?

And I love Rock Band. The joys of pretending you are in a band.
And I love French people. They eat snails.


The combination of all three. Awhile back I went over to my friend Jeremy's house. Jeremy is from France. He also happens to own Beatles Rock Band. Lucia (my roomate), Jeremy and I pretended we were in a band. It was hard core. Lucia and I switched off playing the guitar and the drums and Jeremy was our lead singer. You have not lived until you hear all of the Beatles songs in a French accent.
"Let's come togezer right now, ovair meee."
Words cannot describe my delight in hearing this new take on my old favorites. If you have friends from France, make them play Beatles Rock Band. It will be an experience you will not soon forget.
