Arsenale


Me and Christian went to the Arsenale on our last day. I guess this was like an Arsenal, it looked like there were military boats there, apparently people could only go on he Bienalle. Well, the Arsenale was even better than the Giardini and I and So So So happy we went. It was just a lot of interactive art which was amazing. We walk in and there is a room full of glass mirrors shattered. In the next room there was a cabinet full of bread, a bunch of rooms with different colors, free candy, post cards titled "Venice" of pictures of places that were not actually Venice, bags of fake cocain, light-up doors, hoses hanging from ceilings, a diamond Unicorn, juust the craziest stuff you could imagine. It was like a fairytale land. I had a lot lot lot lot of fun. Good for a last day if Venice. We also went to the Gugenheim which wasss not as interesting personally. I like art that isn't art. I like people who can smash a bunch of glass and call it expression.

So we are leaving tomorrow. Throughout this experience I've learned a few things. For one, If you want to learn about how to live your life, leave the country. Just go. I know now more than ever that I need to travel. I just can't wait until I can leave New Jersey again. Another thing is, I should learn a different language, really. Also, i now Know that I can do anything, really. It doesn't matter what I'm doing now or who im with. that all changes in life, if you let it. I'm ready to let it. Cioa Venice :)
