Annoying Ladies, Service Charge, and Hurting Feet

O.K. here's the deal...

This morning we all went to breakfast and got fruit, pastries, and water. We went to the lady inside the restaurant and asked if we could order here and she said no go sit down. So we sat down and the guy came and we told him what we wanted. Then we ate and stuff, then the problems started...it totally sounded like he had a accent and said 15, but no he said 50!!!! For fruits and pastries!!!! Here is what they do, the water cost 3.50 Euro, the fruits cost 5.50, and the pastries cost 5.50. This is what it should of cost...the sign in the window said the fruits were 3.50 and the pastries were 3.50. But as you probably could guess NOTHING in Europe is simple because there is service charge, almost no one takes credit cards, and there are tourist traps everywhere.

Then there is the annoying ladies. Mom almost slapped her the last time we saw her. We first saw her in the line to the Ufizzi (a museum) she held out a cup with a little picture in it of two little kids that we guaranteed weren't hers, then she had a pillow taped underneath to her dress so she looked pregnant and was speaking some strange language I couldn't make out. Then we saw her after we got out of the Ufizzi while we were eating some good little sandwiches, she did the same thing, and that was really annoying because we where watching a guy in a green shirt with "Joker" face paint on to random stuff to random people like steal peoples hats and put them on other people and stuff like that, the funniest thing I thought was when he held on to an old ladies arm and she thought that it was her friend then she looked to say something and then freaked. Then the last time we saw her we were resting on a bench then she walked up and before she even said anything Mom yelled "NO" and then she stopped asking us, but gave us some nasty looks.

And now to our feet, our feet hurt insanely bad. The second we got back to the Hotel I just jumped on to the bed and laid there for a sec, then I got bored and me and Gracie had a race down the hall. And now I'm doing this...Fun and Annoying 

Those were my Adventures for today!

Fun in the Sun

Today we all went to Lake Garda. We had some good times there, posing like a Chinese person in behind a castle and all...Here are some pic the computer isn't doing what I want it to so I'll just give yout them

 

      

  Here they are, these all were what people   were actually doing

But before that me and Gracie were skipping rocks.

.......I know some crackages are showing......

It's like a beautiful painting done by the most skilled artist ever, crackeges and all.

Then we were suppose to goto a gelato place....they had a cool logo.

The place was called "Ippopotamus"

You know how Cold Stone mixes a bunch of flavors together, thats what they did here except with gelato.

It looked really good but we didn't go. We did go there for pizza though, that was good. 

Well just now as I was writing I breathedout really hard while I was looking at Gracie and Mom called me a "Dragon Translator"....Does that make sense to you. Mom says that it does because she said something then I breathed at Gracie....Is Gracie the Dragon...The world may never know

BUM BUM BBUUMM

Those were my Adventures for the last few days. 

Laying Around Doing Nothing is Fun.....

                             Yesterday Gracie made her blog so I didn't have time to post something.

Yesterday we woke up at a normal time and then went over to the Basilica of Saint Mark. I thought it was not that great, I thought that some stuff was cool, but most of it was blocked off. It was more of a museum than a church, you couldn't go anywhere really. Also they said no camera's, but everyone was taking pictures and the guards weren't doing anything about it. The only fun thing I got to do was pretend I was a Saint in one of the little arches.

I even have a Halo around my head :)

Then we got bored and went back to the hotel and just laid around playing on our phones, the computer, and reading. Fun enough.

Then we went to Hard Rock Cafe for our last little bit of American/Mexican food. I got a really good cheeseburger, Gracie got Mac n Cheese...totally called it, and Mom got Chicken Fajitas. We all liked having food that we will probably not get for awhile.

After that we wander around the opposite site of the hotel that we hadn't been on yet...you're probably thinking, "You've only been on one side of your hotel?"...Yes, Yes we have. The one side had all the stuff that we wanted to see, the other side just had shopping stores. Well we found a little sweet shop that had some sort of cake that Mom got, and they had gelato that me and Gracie got.

Then we went back to our hotel and tried to go to sleep...emphasis on the word tried, none of us fell asleep till like 1:00, I fell asleep at like 4:00, Gracie fell asleep at around 1:40, and Mom was dosing from 1:00 till 2:00 then she fell asleep.

                                        This was my bed because I couldn't get comfy on the real bed.....

Believe it or not it is actually kind of comfortable.

Then I woke up and started today..

Today we went over the Rialto Bridge and just wandered around over there and did nothing then came back and are still doing nothing.

That was my Adventures for Yesterday and Today



Actually waking up at a reasonable time here is not fun....

Today I woke up at at around 8:00 and then fell asleep again at 8:15 then woke up at 8:45 then actually had to stay up:(

This is me trying to put on my happy face for the day

I know its sad...

Then we went over the Rialto Bridge and looked around the market and found a fruit stand that had good strawberries, then a meat place, and then a little store that had bread and doughnuts.

This is the only pic we took because we were to amazed to take any more

Then we ate at a little park next to San Marco, the food was very very good. Me and Mom played a little game of guess if the people are Americans...Shocking there were only two people

Then we hopped on a water bus and rode over to Murano. Before I go into how amazing Murano was I need to tell you that the seats are very uncomfortable. It is a uncomfort that some of you people reading may never experience. Now saying that the pain is WAY worth it is true. 

Here is a pic of some of the stuff that the master glass blower can make in about 2 minutes......

For the vase he blows a little bubble then makes it have a neck so to speak. Then he takes something that looks like an extremely over-sized pair of tweezers and touches the end of the neck and it stretches out like the pic shows.

For the horse he gets a blob of molten glass and twirls it around his pole then grabs the over-sized tweezers again. Then he tweezes the ears of the horse then the snout. Then he stretches the neck out and adds the hair on it. Then he pinches a piece off then another and then those end up being the two front legs. Then he stretches the glass out and adds the tail and the two hind legs. Then he goes to a little jar full of little glass flakes and dips the horse in it. Then he twirls the horse around and all the tid-bits of glass sink into the horse. And that is how you see the horse your looking at now.

Then we walked around the stores marveling at the amazing art, and found a little gelato place.

Here is a pic of the gelato Mom and Gracie got.

This is  the nice one...you can see the river and some people in the background.

And then theres this....I don't remember taking this pic but I guess I did.

Lets start with Gracie, she is making an absolutly lovely face posittion, and she has a wonderful amount of gelato in her mouth.

Then theres Mom, she also has a wonderful face position, and her eyes are averted from were she is suppose to be looking.

Then we went back to San Marco and then our hotel. And now (Drum Roll Please) Dinner.

And that was my adventure for today.

Chillin In Piazza San Marco

Today I went to San Marco then grabbed a camera then the fun began......

Well to start with mom here looks rather annoyed for some reason I just can't comprehend. Then there's Gracie who is just like la-di-da....woah look there's the sky.

Look at her now...tell me what you think she is thinking right now in the comments ^o^

In my opinion she is like rawr I'm a lion

And that was just the beginning, here comes the real time to start R.O.F.L.

OK here is the lady that really needs to think about restyling...

Her hair is so thick that she can puts her sunglasses in it.

I think that this lady saw me she is pointing right at me.

This guy ^o^ is like hey man whats up...

The guy to his left is like wait....the sky

 

This guy is pretending to be a zombie...hes doing a pretty good job, it looks like he actually put make up on

This lady is like lets go skip down the piazza

This lady needs a new outfit and some skin that fits her

I don't even know what to say

Hippy in the back....

Wait for it.

                                      

                                                                  Hippy in the front

                                                                Oh Ya Disco Baby!!

                                                        And that was my adventure for today
