VENICE
ROME
Pisa, Bologna, Cinque Terre, and Bologna
One of our first trips while in Italy was to Venice for Carnevale!

This is Francesca, our make-up artist, who did a wonderful job of making us all exotically
beautiful :)

Francesca's talent manifested in the wonder of face paint...

Alishya before... and after!


There were thousands of people in Venice for the weekend and at one point, we were merely
pushed up the bridge by the throngs of people.

Alishya took the opportunity to buy lots of pidgeon food... Katie got in on the action and
squealed quite loudly :)

A dog gets in the mood to party Renaissance style

A typical example of the ornateness of Carnevale

Missy and Katie fooling around with the camera while Alishya gets painted a few feet away
:)

This woman (man?) had a HUGE plate of pasta on his head... appropriate for Italy, I
thought

Katie making new friends!

Katie and Missy on the train home... what an adventure!
