Murano- Glass blowing Capital!!!!

The Lighthouse on Murano
This is the Famous glass horse, that the man made in less than a minute.

They actually do blow the glass.. who knew

Very hot melted glass...

Venice is in the background. We know we live a hard life,but someone has to do it!
Murano is very easy to get to. You jump on the train to Venice and then grab the DM boat bus and you're on your way. If you get sea sick this might not be the trip for you. I myself had to take some motion sickness meds, but was able to get it all down if you know what I mean. We ended up going to a glass demonstration that cost 2euro, and they didn't speak any English but good thing we didn't need to hear to understand. The most expensive glass is when it has red or gold in it or on it. Glass blowing is a past down through family to family career. The town is very quite, so it was hard for me to stay there a long time. But there are certain stores that have amazing deals on glass designs but for the most part you can find it cheaper either on base or at another store.... FYI
Until our next adventure Arrivederci
