Wow! There is soooo much glass here!
One thing we wanted to do was to see a demonstration of a glass blower at work. A word of advise: get away from the Vaporetto drop-off area. Everything seems very expensive for the average tourist. This includes glass blowing demonstrations. Instead, take a walk and get deeper into the city.
We found a great little glass shop where the proprietor was hard at work making glass pieces. Anyone could walk in and watch. He made a great little glass cat that Jules really loved, so we bought it for him for only a few euros.
We spent the next few hours walking around the city and got some lunch before hopping back on the Vaporetto back to Venice.
After we got back to Venice, we made our way over to San Marco Square.
Over at San Marco Square, it was a bit late to go into the Basilica, but we could go up into the Campanile. Both of these are top on Jules' list of attractions to visit. We'll visit the Basilica tomorrow when it is open again.
In the Square, Jules found that there are thousands of pigeons! He had a blast feeding them and running around the square. Kim and I grabbed a table at one of the cafes that surround the square. The cafes give you some great people watching as well as some tasty beverages and a live band. It is a bit on the speedy side, but we decided to go for it anyway. Jules would run out to play in the square and come back every few minutes to check in. What a good kid.
The weather was warm and sunny. What a great day!!
