Another fun stop on my Italian blate with Jess was the island of Murano. Murano is also a short boat ride from Venice and is most widely known as being the home of Murano glass. The second we hopped of the boat at the dock in Murano, we were shuffled into a glass shop to watch a glassblowing demonstration. This was the first time I'd ever witnessed the glassblowing process and I have to say, it's quite fascinating! When the glassblowers were done working their magic, the most colorful freckled glass cup was placed on a shelf to set. If that cup hadn't have been over 40 euros, I would've snatched it up! Murano glass is NOT CHEAP, y'all! I did manage to find myself a cute 10 euro glass gondolier ornament to commemorate my time there...along with about 6 dozen photos of this quiet little glass making town. While I don't think this island has quite as much charm as Burano, it is worth a short trip, if only to see the handmade glass gifts and glassblowing demonstration.
Up next from our Italian blate...VENICE! Ciao!
