Bridges
Because everything in Venice is connected by water, there are hundreds of bridges so that people can walk from place to place. Many are famous and some are even special for people in love to go - if they put a lock around one of teh bridge bars it is said that they will have good luck.

Murono Glass
Murano is an island inside the Venician Lagoon. It is famous for it's glass making, especially lights (especially chandeliers) and jewelry and just about anything else that can be made out of glass. Many famous glass artists either started or studied in Murano. We went to one glass factory and they told us that it can take 20-30 years to become a glass "master" and kids sometimes start working with their fathers when they are around 10 - many factories have been in a family for many, many years.
