Venice Again

A bus and bus stop in Venice.

Santa gondola race winners.

A lot of buildings on not a lot of land.

Cemetario, the cemetary island.

On the island of Murano. Venice actually refers to a group of islands that were originally much smaller. Fishermen fished in the surrounding lagoon when some rich people thought it would be a good idea to build some foundations and create cities on top of the expanded islands. Murano is world famous for its glass.

Some cool Murano glass works.

A wolf?

Italian bacon and gorgonzola pizza. I had to. This was very, very good.

The first day in Venice, we also visited the Peggy Guggenheim Museum, featuring a small collection of some very prominent artists she supported in their early careers: Ernst, Pollock, Rothko, Klee to name a few. Also featuring some great works by Tanguy, Miró, Calder, Dalí, and a Picasso. Pretty solid.
