Murano

A Murano glassblower creates a vase : Murano, IT

On our last full day in Venice, we went to Murano and Burano. To get to the islands, you have to take a ferry. The ride to Murano is about 10 minutes and to Burano, another 40 minutes. Murano is known for its glassworks and Burano is known for its lace and colorful buildings.

Water

Sainte-Chapelle in a Glass : Paris, FR

Nothing too exciting today. Just a glass of water on a blue table cloth at a sidewalk cafe on the Left Bank a block away from Notre Dame. That steeple in the background and in the water is part of Saint Chapelle.
