last day in italy

---

whew...italy has been hot. but you know what, even with the moaning about the heat, i'll miss it. goodbye gelato, goodbye italian food, goodbye motion sickness!!!

we went to the island of murano this morning, and watched people blow glass. wow. i watched this man take a lump of molten glass and create a horse in less than a minute, by pulling and twisting, and bending the glass. i can't even describe it, it happened so fast. some of the stuff there was incredible, and of course, expensive.

i think we're both getting a little run down, mom fell asleep on the boat today while we were going back to venice. i am really looking forward to my bed....but we're still having fun though. just tiring is all.

so....i'll post more pics as soon as we get the chance, one can only hope that vienna is going to be cooler, i swear i'm surpised i haven't melted.

be home in less than three weeks!
