Burano - the island of lace and painted homes!

Took public transportation to get to the island... and that, my friends, would be a boat!  Bit of a long ride, over an hour, but we arrived and set out exploring.  We even found a geocache on the island.  It's pretty much filled with lace shops, but not just your grandma's lace stuff.  Clothing of all sorts with lace trim, etc were in the shops.  Always a little skeptical  of  the shops, cuz I've actually seen tags that say "Made in China".  
We were able to get some pics and one that shows how one of the towers really is leaning.  You find that all over in Venice.  

Thought this was colorful... Green clogs Orange wheel, we're getting tired and weird I think!

 Crooked tower...
 Public Transportation!
 Meandering our way back to home, so many churches!
 Stopping for a cold one on the way back... 




Aha, Home Sweet Home!

View from our window... have to cross the water to get to the sidewalk!
