This afternoon, we strolled towards the Northern part of Venice then took a vaporetto to the island of Murano. Long synonymous with glassmaking, Murano developed blowing and fusion techniques in the 1500s. We skipped the Glass Museum (I had been 16 years ago, and Dick wasn't interested) and opted instead to visit smaller studios and shops. We watched part of a great demonstration in a small studio, and found a great showcase of a local designer.
We really enjoyed to long, scenic vaporetto ride back to the south end of Venice. We departed at the Sant Elena stop, and strolled through the park on our way back towards our hotel.
