VENICE - Less Bridges than Berlin, Just as Romantic
I have important news to talk about (new bunny, another visit from Thomas) & old news to record (4th of july) BUT editing down the album for Venice has me waxing on about it again. So, a few more featured pics....
Murano is a series of islands off of Venice. Just 45 min from the city and reachable by the Vaporetto. We
wanted to go to an island, but I though Murano would be old people and
touristy glass pieces. I was wrong. It also had a quieter atmosphere
than Venice, the place greg finally bought a glass piece, and an awesome
glass sculpture.
A steady diet of gelato kept us happy
Doge's Palace (note: you can take pics of he building, but not the interior. Not that it stopped many people)
Meow in Italian
Steves strikes again! We are a follower of Mr. Rick Steve,
even if we do cringe when we are in the army of book carriers. he led
us right here, recommending we try a cicchetti bar where you can eat a
bunch of small bites for just a euro each. We had:
Artichoke heart
ham with pesto
seabass spread
anchovy & onion
Ian got adventures at the grocery store and got us tiny octopus. Greg & I were nervous, but not bad!
We came around a corner and a subtle rumble became a penitentiary screaming and clanking. Right outside of Venice! I've tried to find info on it, but not knowing the name everything re-directs to the Doge's Palace etc. A mystery
Our .50 cent gondola ride, just across the river
Love Locks are apparently a custom all over the world. Sweethearts put a lock on a bridge to symbolize their everlasting love.
