Forget me not Venice

(I went so long without a post so here are two only a day apart). I only a spent a day in Venice. I am not going to say that was enough but I did get a good feel for thr place (the main feeling being expensive). Originally I was not going to go there, due to the fact I couldnt find a hostel,  but I met some one how found one so I tagged along (that was explained poorly, you can read the beginning of my previous post "Florence friends" if you want clarification).

I would like to say that I did not get lost once while in Venice (most people see this as a go I thing,  I see it as a bad. I just didn't have the time to get lost). I can also cross off another accidental surcumstance goal,  stay at an iffy hostel. That makes it sound like it was worse then it really was, if was basically just someone's apartment.After we dropped our stuff off we grabbed some lunch at a market outside our hostle,  I had arancino (corn bread ball filled with cheese and meat), treccia (good, not sure how to describe, kinda like a soft pretzel), and a panzerotto (like a calzone). the rest of the day we spend with some people from Mexico that the Canadian had met earlier. All together it was fun, but I wish I had more time there. It was just so expensive I couldn't this trip. I did get a good sketch in so hopefully that will turnout.

I am working on several water color pieces now, I might have one or two done that I can show you next time. Sorry I don't have any finished now I am trying a different style that takes more time. 

Here we have a picture of the view from my hostel in Villach, Austria. And a beard update. What do you guys think of it? Should I keep it when I get back?
