Venice Roundup

Well, today is our last day in Venice. We have seen some really cool concerts while we were here. The first, Musica in Maschera was a Chamber Orchestra and Opera Singers performing famous Opera songs. The second concert was from Musici Veneziani and they performed all 4 of Vivaldi's Seasons and Pachelbel's Canon. It was the first time I'd seen all 4 seasons performed at the same concert, so that was cool. Both groups were dressed in 18th century costumes.

Tonight we are on a overnight train to Paris. It is 12 and a half hours long, and we get into Paris at 8:30am. We dont know what we will do tomorrow during the day, but I'm sure we'll figure something out. We will be staying with friends Phillippe and Sylvie, who I met on the SCUBA boat in Australia in April. On Tuesday we will be taking a tour of the Louvre, which is supposedly one of the greatest museums in the world. After the Louvre tour we will be on another overnight train to Madrid. Neither of us has ridden an overnight train before and we don't know what to expect. What an adventure!

Also, we have posted photos of Florence and photos of Siena. Go check them out!
