VENICE
We got to Venice during the night...the water looked real nice. We took a boat ride to our hotel.
The Rialto Bridge
We arrived to our tiny hotel room.
We had a nice view ...a brick building one foot away!
We got to view the streets during the day. I loved it!
Oooh..i wanted a ride too!
Of course, there are no cars here
As we walked around we passed by some toy shops.
This is a church right by our hotel. It is partially hidden by another building.
I liked this costume...
In front of the Basilica di San Marco
The plaza
Basilica di San Marco
On top of the Basilica
The Market
One of Venice's streets
Tourists walking towards their water taxis.
Passing the Gondola's. I was tempted to get on one of those...
Cruising through the skyMURANO- the city of glassblowing
On our way to Murano!
Leaving Venice behind
Passing by some other islands
The cemetary had an island of its own.
Finally, at Murano. Standing by the Glass Comet Star.
The glassblower was shaping the glass into a horse using heat and forceps.
The finished horsie.
The glass woman
I don't know what this was but everybody touched its hand...I'm hoping its for luck!BURANO- the city of lace
On our way to Burano!
Burano
Lace for sale. Lace is expensive here; some were selling for over 100 Euros!
Me, standing by all the pretty houses.
Ladies following a generation of making lace.
I couldn't believe there was a store named like me! I had to take a pic : )
We marveled at all the tiny colorful houses. My favorite ones were the pink ones, of course.
It seemed like Laundry Day
On one of the neighborhood bridges...
A lonely sailboat on our way back to Venice... 
On our way to Venice, I was glad I didn't get seasick after all the boat rides. It had been my first time on a boat!
