On Holiday: Part One

I have the most amazing parents in the world. This year for Christmas, they let me go to London to visit my friend Denise, instead of coming home and spending time with them. I've been home for a few days and am starting to get over the jet lag, so I decided it was time to share the trip with you all. However, I was gone for 14 days. I did a lot, and saw a lot, and there is no way I can put it all in one post. Plus, I'm sure none of you would read it if it were all in one post, so I've decided to spread it out. Hence this post, Part One.

My first night in London we went to see Les Miserables. It was soooo good. I only have one picture to document this event because this was probably the coldest night I spent in London and we could only stand to be outside for the 20 seconds in took to run to the coffee shop and get hot chocolate.

The next morning, we left for Milan where we rented a car to drive to Venice. Oh how we loved that little car.

Now, keep in mind that when we originally planned to roadtrip through Italy, it was supposed to be in the 50's. We arrived to the snow, and even had a blizzard in Venice, which we were told was a rare event.

We were in Venice during acqua alta which means high waters in Italian. And they were. We all broke down and bought wellies that day so we could walk around the city. Before my purchase, I had to be carried.

We spent the day walking around the city, seeing St. Mark's, and playing in the snow and rain (once we had our boots).

 

Now it is officially 8:31 pm Utah time which is 3:31 am London time. I am clearly not over the jet lag as I feel like I could go to sleep now and not wake up for a very long time. Therefore, this ends Venice and Part One. Next we go to Rome...
