Finn and I have been in Venice for four days now. Today was our last day. Venice is beautiful and makes me a little homesick because the whole city smells like the ocean. Yesterday we went up into a tower that looks over all of Venice. From up there you can see all the way to the horizon over the water, the mountains in the opposite direction, and all the different islands that make up Venice. The pigeons here are very aggressive. They flock to pedestrians like ravenous zombies and I'm always afraid I'm going to get pooped on. Today we went to an amazing mask shop that my uncle David recommended. It's a tiny shop, but full of colorful, unique masks. The mask maker was in the shop painting a devil mask at the time of our visit and he talked to us for awhile about all the different celebrities he knew. My favorite mask was a mask that my uncle actually has in his dining room, a moon mask with a small woman bordering the side. I'm glad we got to go to a shop that is authentic, unlike the hundreds of vendors all around Venice selling plastic masks. Tomorrow morning Finn and I have a 6:20 train, meaning we'll have to get up around five to walk to the train station. We'll be on trains from the morning until 9:30 at night! We are traveling from Venice, Italy to Narbonne, France where we will be picked up by the owners of the farm we are working at. The farm has another wwoofer working with them so we will (hopefully) make a new friend. I'm sad to be leaving Venice because it's smells so pleasant and Is gorgeous, but I'm excited for a new routine at the farm. I am really missing my glow in the dark stars that are on my ceiling at home, so if anyone is feeling loving and generous and wants to send me glow in the dark stars, or even a letter, it would be much appreciated. My address on the farm is 30 Avenue de la Mer 11200 Thezan des Corbieres France. Keep in mind it will take mail awhile to get there and I'll be there until the 27th of March. All is well!
