Italy... What an amazing trip. Day one when we arrived we walked around the island to see the sights!
LUNCH- so delicious...just a little place we found on the walk back.
For dinner we went to a wonderful place that Lizzie and Justin had eaten at when they were there in the fall. It was so yummy!
Day 2 was to be Murano and Burano. But before we left the hostel, we got to experience something we never had before..an earthquake. We felt the earthquake that occured in another part of Italy. Cass and I were a bit caught off guard being that we had never felt one before, but we were fine. Our thoughts went out to those that were not.
After breakfast it was back to San Marco Square on our way to catch the water taxis to the islands of Murano and Burano. Murano is known for its glass blowing and handmade glass. It was an amazing little island! We then went to Burano which is known for its lace making. This island was also beautiful, a bit smaller and the buildings were much more colorful.
I had to take a picture of our lunch... not only was the pizza delicious, but look at the can! A redhead!!
Lesson: Venice is a city to come back to, and we will!!!
