Murano Island...Glass blowing!

So Ray, Lana, and I got in a water taxi...and took off to Morano Island...which is world famous for its Venetian glass that they make right there....really cool place...
these guys are gonna demo some glass blowing...this homeboy is gonna make a vase...

finished product...sweet....

can you tell what he is making....it took me a bit to figure it out....^^

this is what he made...really fast.....really cool.....well actually not cool.....really hot! You see that paper? The guy put it on top of it....and it immediately caught on fire....geeez dont touch it!

This was the sweet shop we looked around in after....not everything was expensive...just most of it! lol...sweet stuffs man...

i like this antique lion door knocker....niiiiice....

Well...after getting lost for a bit...we found our way back on the water taxis to the Rialto bridge exit...the boat system is good....but a little confusing....jsut gotta be at the right place at the right time i guess...

me and the rialto bridge again...but at night! ^^
Well I had to get off a stop before theirs, I had to catch my train to go back to Montebelluna, they were heading to the cruise ship for one more night, then they were off to London for a couple days to finish their trip. It was such a blessing to be with some family out here...thanks for everything guys!

What a great experience to be in Venice! Wonderful day...thanks Lord for blessing it!
