Our three days in Venice...
There is no way to fully explain our experience in Venice so I thought I'd try to let some photos do the task for me.
It was three days of absorption... We took water taxis to the island of Murano to learn about the amazing art of glassblowing. We were impressed on Burano with the beautifully painted homes (we were told that the fishermen would drink too much, while at sea, and the different, brightly colored houses would help them find their way back) and the intricate lace work the women did there.
We went to an organ concert at the Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, one of the greatest churches of Venice. The church is notable for its many masterpieces of Venetian Renaissance art (Titian and Donetello).
We meandered over many bridges and got lost in the hidden passageways. It was three days of exploring, relishing and admiring the architecture and magic of this fantastic Italian jewel.

I am glad you enjoyed yourself. All of your pictures show what a grand time you had.
Did you eat any tiramisu? I had one of my favorite tiramisu desserts in Venice. I look forward to trying to find it again. :)
