We had a really nice breakfast at our hotel. Our people at our hotel told us we could take a private water taxi that would pick us up and bring us out to the island of Murano. We then went in to a glass blowing shop and watched glass being blown and molded. This was amazing! He did a vase for us and then he molded a horse in about 3 minutes. The cool part was that after these lives are made they must go through another step and that is like some sort of oven that takes natural gas and because that is so expensive it's not worth saving the piece so in about ten minutes after the pieces are out of the heat they explode! Sort of sad!
We walked around for a couple minutes and the we took another water taxi and headed to the island burano. Here the island stands out because the homes are all different pastel colors. Your family has a set color and that must be the color your house is when you move into any home. It is believed this is because it is a fishing village and it was the way the drunk fisherman could find their way home. We then took a water taxi back to venice. Ergot off at San Marco Square and then we just wandered all afternoon on the streets that you easily get lost on as they dead end. We found a restaurant for lunch and wandered more and then had dinner and wandered more. Tomorrow we head to Florence!
