• Went to the islands

    September 8, 2025 in Italy ⋅ ☁️ 75 °F

    Today after coffee we hopped on a waterbus and went out to the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcelo.
    Murano is known for its glass making heritage and still sells rememberances of that past to tourist in it's 18,745 souvenir shops. We also watched someone make a jar. And a prancing horse.
    We then hopped on over to Burano, known for lace and linen and its colorful homes. We had lunch. Finished our day on Torcelo, which was, historically, the first of the Venician islands to be settled and abandoned. It remains largely the same. But quieter, and a calm place to walk.
