After getting some good rest, we headed out into the city of Venice one last time before continuing on. We boarded the waterbus and headed to the Island of Murano, the island of glass works. The view on the waterbus was mesmerizing and we soon saw the island approach us. Several of the students purchased works of glass from necklaces to plates. I know Olivia struggled to find a red glass bowl at a reasonable price; however, she was successful. The church on the island also amazed Alex; the architecture was a sight to behold. We spent about 2 hours at this island, and the time came for us to head to the Saint Marco’s Cathedral, which was on the main island of Venice. However, we ran into even a greater dilemma on our way to this cathedral. Venice has proved to be quite the labyrinth; we lost Our way as we went into the Saint Marco’s Cathedral. It was pretty amazing, and Peter was able to sneak a video and photo here and there. What a rebel! We grabbed some lunch afterwards near the square. Soon after eating lunch, Mr. Mumford and Mrs. Miller graciously gave us free time to explore the city. Many students returned to the hotel with interesting purchases such as tri–colored pasta, masks, and many articles of clothing. It was six o’clock now and several students returned to the hotel to take an hour nap prior to dinner at eight o’clock. We ate our last dinner in Venice at an Italian restaurant near the hotel. It was phenomenal! And of course, we crossed the Grand Canal to get some Gelato, which was delicious. Tomorrow we leave for Florence and say goodbye to Venice.
