Our visit started with a short glassmaking demonstration at one of the factories. I&#8217;ve seen glassblowing before and it is amazing, but even more incredible was the solid glass cat that we saw being pulled and stretched into shape like so much taffy. Afterwards, we visited the showroom and window shopped. The guide had recommended visiting the church a bit further on, but there really wasn&#8217;t enough time.<\/p>\n<table align=\"left\">\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lklawless.com\/images\/burano.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lklawless.com\/images\/buranos.JPG\" alt=\"Burano\" align=\"left\" border=\"0\"><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>Burano is known for its colorful houses and lacemaking. The lacemaker was at lunch when we arrived, however, so we decided to follow her example and dine in the main square.

We wandered around for a few minutes before eating dessert, and barely made it back to the boat in time.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, it was an enjoyable outing, but it could have been better organized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two days is plenty of time to get to get a feel for Venice, so after we got our fill of wandering around, we did a half-day trip to the islands of Murano, Burano, and Torcello.
