Okay so I spent something like 3 days in Venice by myself. I got to wander around and find all the cool nooks and crannies there. I stayed at two different hostels. The first was kinda boring but there were some interesting characters there and it was right on the Grand Canal. The second was more fun. It had a terrace and a really cool dude that worked there named Alex. He let me run the place for a little while which was nice. I got to use the computer and tell people what to do. I enjoyed it. St. Marc’s Square was kind of a let down. Not a ton of pigeons but that was where our concert was. We saw a nice quintet of Vivaldi’s four seasons. I liked Venice a lot but as for cities with canals go, I prefer Amsterdam. 
I was much happier after Kristen and Natalie showed up. But there isn’t much else to do in Venice other than opera and St. Marc’s Square and churches. I still had a pretty good time.
