Murano, Burano and Torcello

We've been doing a good job of avoiding the crowds of tourists but today it was unavoidable. I really wanted to visit Murano, Burano and Torcello and so did every other tourist in Venice 🤷🏻‍♀️. I love glass and really enjoyed the demonstration of glass blowing. We got there as soon as they opened but as we were leaving the demo, the mobs of people were arriving so we jumped on the next boat to Burano. This island is known for lace making and the shops were beautiful! The houses on the island are painted in vibrant colors. We had a nice lunch and headed to Torcello. It was an oasis of peace. There is very little to see there other than the old church filled with byzantine art. We took in the pastoral ambiance for a while and then headed home. All in all, another lovely day in Venice.
