After lunch, we decided to explore Venice
in our own way without a map. We
followed straight streets crossing big and
small squares and viewed remarkable
structures, Roman buildings with pillars
and arches throughout the city. Small houses with
colorful flowers, souvenir stores with lovely masks,
colorful packages of pasta, arts and crafts and the
fragrant smell of pizza, they all appears so glamorous
that one might be assured that any traveler would
remark as to the city's beauty.
We visited Florian cafä on St. Marco square to enjoy
the afternoon and looked at the blue sea with floating
gondolas. In the late afternoon, we went to Harry's
Bar to sip a glass of spritz, which is Prosecco white
wine mixed with sparkling mineral water, and order
the famous dish of carpaccio cooked by the owner,
Giuseppe Cipriani. It was fresh slices of beef and
salmon set on the plate with lemon, olive oil and truffle
mushrooms or Parmesan cheese.
In the evening, Venice is sparkling and fanciful with
the light sound of splashing waves. People are not in a

sights and refined cuisine but

make your love even better here.
hurry but walk slowly together as if they were spending

Masterpieces of glass
From Venice, we take a vaporetti to Murano island to
discover the art of manufacturing blown glass at the
heat of 2000 degree Celcius, the same art that was
practiced in the 10 th century. They melted sand and
limestone to make materials for the glass masterpieces.
These glass factories were originally located in the
city of Venice though eventually this art was spread
to Murano island in the 13 th century. We had a chance
to witness artisans producing various glass products
such as colorful bottles, vases, frames and jewelry with
different materials.
