Actually waking up at a reasonable time here is not fun....

Today I woke up at at around 8:00 and then fell asleep again at 8:15 then woke up at 8:45 then actually had to stay up:(

This is me trying to put on my happy face for the day

I know its sad...

Then we went over the Rialto Bridge and looked around the market and found a fruit stand that had good strawberries, then a meat place, and then a little store that had bread and doughnuts.

This is the only pic we took because we were to amazed to take any more

Then we ate at a little park next to San Marco, the food was very very good. Me and Mom played a little game of guess if the people are Americans...Shocking there were only two people

Then we hopped on a water bus and rode over to Murano. Before I go into how amazing Murano was I need to tell you that the seats are very uncomfortable. It is a uncomfort that some of you people reading may never experience. Now saying that the pain is WAY worth it is true. 

Here is a pic of some of the stuff that the master glass blower can make in about 2 minutes......

For the vase he blows a little bubble then makes it have a neck so to speak. Then he takes something that looks like an extremely over-sized pair of tweezers and touches the end of the neck and it stretches out like the pic shows.

For the horse he gets a blob of molten glass and twirls it around his pole then grabs the over-sized tweezers again. Then he tweezes the ears of the horse then the snout. Then he stretches the neck out and adds the hair on it. Then he pinches a piece off then another and then those end up being the two front legs. Then he stretches the glass out and adds the tail and the two hind legs. Then he goes to a little jar full of little glass flakes and dips the horse in it. Then he twirls the horse around and all the tid-bits of glass sink into the horse. And that is how you see the horse your looking at now.

Then we walked around the stores marveling at the amazing art, and found a little gelato place.

Here is a pic of the gelato Mom and Gracie got.

This is  the nice one...you can see the river and some people in the background.

And then theres this....I don't remember taking this pic but I guess I did.

Lets start with Gracie, she is making an absolutly lovely face posittion, and she has a wonderful amount of gelato in her mouth.

Then theres Mom, she also has a wonderful face position, and her eyes are averted from were she is suppose to be looking.

Then we went back to San Marco and then our hotel. And now (Drum Roll Please) Dinner.

And that was my adventure for today.
