This is from Thursday the 26th

So, I posted on our day in Marano last Thursday, but I rewrote it so you can read it again :)

So, we took a train to Venice and we had a day there and "Romed" around. Hahaha.. ok, not funny.  

I took so many pictures here, about 500.  And if you think your going to see all of them, that means I have to post them and I doubt that it will happen because, seriously, its 500 photos!!!!

We have been going nonstop until today and it won't end yet!  

When we got to Marano we got treated to some sea food! Fresh muscles and fish and who knows what it was but it was good.  Even tho it didn't settle to well with my stomach, it still was amazing.  Something that I'll never experience either.  Fo Free! I thank you, seriously.  

So, Marano is where my Grama VanSkike's family is from.  Thats all the information I can give you, but their last name is Bossi.  I talked to some people in the area and said that my extended family was from Marano and they looked at me in exticetment--all to find out that the name Bossi was very political and (apparently) not a good thing.  Great....

I seriously felt home here.  Not because It could be were my family is from.  But it was so peaceful and it felt like Norton... but much prettier.  I felt so comfortable.   

We were all tired and exhausted and we were all sick because we were tired and exhausted.  But it was all worth it.  Thank you so much, seriously!!!!!!

Here is a video of us sing Oh Happy Day in Marano at the restaurant.  Click HERE!!!!!!!!!

Here is a video of us sing Madonina del Mare at the restaurant.  Click HERE!!!!!!!

This song, Madonina, is a song that is very popular here in Marano.  This is a fishing town and it means a lot to these people.  I can't remember why exactly, sorry I wish I could remember.  But still, their faces started to glow when we sang two songs Sul Capello and Madonina.  Sul Capello is the Alpini alma matter, almost.  They started clapping when we sang it.  It was beautiful!!

God be with you...
