VENICE

ROME
Pisa, Bologna, Cinque Terre, and Bologna

One of our first trips while in Italy was to Venice for Carnevale!

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

Katie with Butterfly face    Missy all dressed up!    Alishya with her second face paint
Francesca's talent manifested in the wonder of face paint...

Pretty Alishya

Crowds of people!
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  :)

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