Tuesday in Venice









Bill got his haircut on Tuesday and then we went to Murano (or as the girls call it - "Glass Island"). We wandered around the shops and the girls got a few pieces of jewelry. We went to a great workshop/furnace where we saw a bunch of men hard at work making different pieces of glass. It was very cool. They liked the girls and gave them little, beautiful, flower, glass beads. We spent quite a while watching all the different parts of the process. We watched the factory "master" make flowers for chandeliers. It was pretty darn amazing.

After, we went to the top of the Campanile (no line at 6:30 p.m.) and we all enjoyed beautiful views of Venice and the surrounding islands.
