The outer islands of Venice.

 

When my sister visited about a month ago, we had a chance to visit Venice, Burano, and Murano.   Murano is famous for hand-blown glass---which is incredible, but expensive.  However, my favorite island was Burano, famous for lacemaking.  The town is small and beautiful. Pastel houses of pink, blue, and yellow. The first three photos are of Burano.   The last photos are of an island we passed on our way back to Venice.  This is the cemetery island where Venice buries the dead. 

If you ever get a chance to visit Venice---make sure you take a day and visit the outer islands—but please skip the cemetery island!   Ciao
