Awesome Day in Venice!

We were busy today!  Breakfast at our hotel was wonderful (unheard of here!), so we hit the pavement ready for the day!  We started by again strolling all over not having a clue where we were headed but loving where we ended up.  We finally figured it was time to start checking off boxes of our Trip List and went to Saint Marco's Square where Paige got to feed the pigeons, her lifelong dream.  They also thought I might feed them as well (although that was not my intention).  We then got the boat to the island of Murano to see them handmaking glass and were so excited when we found handmade beads that fit our Pandora bracelets and about bought out the shop (just kidding Tim!).  We had a great lunch outside again at a wonderful cafe and enjoyed the sunshine.  We walked around a LOT again and got great pictures of the much less crowded streets of Murano.  We got back on the boat and went to the San Michelle Cemetary.  It was amazing.  A very nice break from the craziness of the touristy part of Venice and full of wonderful art and architectual work.  Then again back on the boat to head to the train station to buy our tickets for Padova tomorrow.  We hit a trattoria for paninis for in the room tonight (we both decided we'd had enough walking for one day) and Paige got one last gelato of the day before we got back to the hotel.  Below are some of our adventures!
