OVERVIEW

Venice is absolutely beautiful! Walking on the beaches, the cutest small-city boutique shops, chocolate dessert shops that smell amazing and is it just me or does the ice cream taste better in Venice?

Also, I never leave Florida without getting shark teeth or sea shells. This trip was no exception!

My grandmother gave me a whole bunch of shark teeth to take home.. I keep them in my bathroom with a bunch of sea shells. They remind me of childhood days spent in Florida!

THINGS TO KNOW

Don't walk too close to the lakes, they have gators and crocs and they do eat people! I've heard a lot of stories!

The bees are definitely bigger in FL than in PA!

October is not the right time of year to pick oranges off of trees!

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA VS SYRACUSE www.usf.edu

No ice cream helmets in the club box level!!! We got Buccaneers helmets, and everyone was staring at the ice cream when we came back in... It was SO HOT! The ice cream had already started melting once we got back to our seats!

The stadium has a big pirate ship.. something to do with the Buccaneers. It looks very cool. Be prepared to sweat at this stadium. Its Florida, its super hot, and everyone there is used to it!!!
