Just got back from the most beautiful city in Italy, Venizia! Its almost magical to be in a place where the roads are full of boats instead of cars... I felt like I was swaying back and forth the whole time from being on so many boats. They have boat busses, boat taxi's, gondolas (of course) even boat limousines (although I only rode on the busses). I also had a chance to explore the beach on the island of Lido (which is the island our hotel was on).
But the most spectacular thing I did in Venice was a trip to the Bienalle, an international art show. For those of you who have ever been to epcot you would know that it is a grouping of different buildings each representing a country and the insides contain representative shops and restaurants of that place. The Beinalle was similar to this only inside of each was filled with artwork from each country. There was so much amazing artwork and inspiring ideas my head was spinning.
The last thing we did in Venice was a trip to Murano to a glass blowing demonstration. In order to be a glass blower you have to be very talented, then go through about 25 years of training! In Murano the whole city is just shops full of glass. They had glass jewelry, glass sculptures, chandeliers, animals, anything you could think of, I even saw a glass violin.
