Sorry for the lack of pics - this is our last night in venice, so hopefully in rome tomorrow I willhave some decent internet access and won't have to type this all on the bberry, etc. This morning we took a vaporetto to murano, famous for its glass - mom, have you been? You would have loved it. The glass museum even had a step by step guide to how glass is made (you know, take sand and ash, put it in.a furnace...) Anyway we browsed numerous stores and bought a few things and went to the museum which wasn't all that impressive but we had gotten a museum pass which let us in free so what the heck. We really enjoued murano, despite obnoxious salespeople ("that room is closed... Unless you want to buy something".
Then we took another vaporetto to the jewish ghetto - the first of its kind and where the term "ghetto" originated. Wasn't really a lot to see here, though we did briefly stop in at the jewish museum. Small bit informative. We meandered our way, getting lost (and gettting yelled at by an Italian mailman trying (I think) to tell us we we're going the wring way...
Anyway after walking all the way back from there,we needed a break so we relaxed in our hotel for a bit before heading for san zaccaria (open this time). Saw the fascinatig crypts. We ate at another yummy trattoria - came back- and now we are about read to pass out so ill go for now. More with an internet connec tomorrow
