We spent today exploring some of the other islands in the lagoon that Venice is in. Murano is famous for it's glass blowing and Burano for it's lace. We explored both and spent varying amounts. There are some spectacular pieces on Murano and we are adding to our collection. We will have to figure out where these two pieces will go, but they will be stars in our living room.
We had dinner tonight in the same Rick Steve's recommended place. They have fresh salads and small portions, and it is informal so you are not expected to eat a 3 or 4 course meal. We have been carbo loading for the last 2 weeks and decided to control it a little bit. We had a great lunch, on Burano, of pasta, fish and salad, and then a light dinner.
Tomorrow we'll take it easy. Venice is spectacular, amazing, and very full of people. It is in the 80's here, and you spend a lot of time walking behind slow people. We did laundry in a self service laundromat today, and met some other english speaking travelers. On the Vaparetto back from Burano we sat across from a french couple and managed to cobble together enough english and french to communicate.
In the next few days I'll do a discussion on toilets. The differences, best and worst.
