venice trip part 1

Oh bother, the last trip of moving around europe begins with me forgetting my camera. Oh the injustice that I have done to myself! Hahahaha. This trip if anything have really been nothing but a really impressive journey for me. Venice is showing me an entirely different side of italy, and I really like it. Hopefully this keeps up till Rome. Most of the rest of italy has been a great let down to me. Venice from what I know has a really colorful kind of community festivals. Thanks to the game assassins creed 2, I have a general idea as to the mask festival that is held in venice every february. I do not really know how it is being celebrated now adays. Will have to do some research about it. According to one of the locals, it was originally celebrated because the king one day wanted to have a type of celebration that would include everyone, and thus begin the mask celebration where everyone wears a peculiar mask that potrays a peculiar personality. Eg: the doctor, the casenova, the clown, the king, and so on. The mask that I find most amusing is the doctors mask. This whole city is one surrounded with loads of water, and people pretty much get around by boats. Ah well. Borrowing a camera from a friend. Photos will be up soon. Hopefully.
