We went to see the glass on Murano. I remember buying little glass figurines, animals mostly. My parents bought a gigantic glass lampshade. Thanks for triggering happy memories Gina. Have a wonderful week. xxChristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11883091348839145603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-31345519739443392732015-05-17T20:51:15.903+01:002015-05-17T20:51:15.903+01:00Gina, how fabulous that you all were able to slip ...Gina, how fabulous that you all were able to slip away to Venice. What a beautiful and romantic place that city is.<br /><br />Why is it that I've never before heard of Burano? Thank you for introducing me. (For the record, I've never been to Harry's Bar. Have to admit I don't much like the sound of the American tourists you all encountered there. What boors.)<br /><br />Here's a funny bit...while you were actually in Venice I was reading Donna Leon's newest Venetian detective story.<br /><br />Congrats on getting everything ready for London, too. I'm looking forward to your next posts...after you have a bit of catch up rest. xo<br /><br />Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2419544468759273678.post-80044070366913517312015-05-17T19:51:57.168+01:002015-05-17T19:51:57.168+01:00I've never been to Venice, but it looks beauti...I've never been to Venice, but it looks beautiful & romantic!

Brought back so many memories. I think Venice is one of my most favourite places in the world. Staying in an apartment too, you really get the feel of the place (non-touristy). We didn't go to Harry's Bar, but did spend a (very expensive, but who cared!) evening sitting in St Mark's Square, just being amazed that we were there. The Rome-New York remark is priceless! Love the masks.Thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15301630072970659470noreply@blogger.com
