Murano is a totally awesome island in Italy. It is home to the famous Venetian glassblowing; I got to see a cup and a horse being made. I also got to try glassblowing myself. At first I was nervous because I did not think that I could do it (I thought it would be hard to blow the bubble, and if I somehow could accomplish that, I thought that it would completely explode). But then it turned out to be super fun. I made a big fat glass bubble, and it stayed together like it was made of diamonds!

Then, they dunked it in the bucket of water and it went bang, crash, bop, kaboom! If you want to see a picture of the glasses that we bought, check out the featured image. I also bought a black dragon figurine with huge white fangs. We cruised in on the water bus and got a tasty lunch (I got a panini pressed salami sandwich… yummy).

Murano is a unique and amazing Italian wonder.
