Venice Day 2

After a delicious breakfast of pastries, coffee, and tea, we headed out for the day. We passed by a boat coming out of a boat garage!













Lunch near the Grand Canal with Joe and Ned! Great view!















We got cichetti (like tapas) and yummy drinks (rossini, blue lagoon, spritz)
















My lasagna was good!
















Vaporetto (water bus) ride to Murano!
















Murano is a small island north of Venice known for its glass making. We were able to see a small demo of a guy making a small figurine out of glass. Murano looks like a smaller version of Venice, with a bigger canal running through it and smaller canals around with bridges everywhere.















The Venetian flag is pretty sweet, both in terms of its shape and the lion with wings.
















We had more cichetti for dinner along with other good foods.
















We also split a tiramisu three ways.
















At night we took a boat ride out to Lido, a long thin island south of Venice. We didn't even get off the boat, we just rode right back to Venice.
