After a fascinating time in Murano checking out its glass shops and museum, Stuart and I took vaporetto #12 again and continued on to Isola di Burano. For what glass is to Murano, is lace to Burano. While we appreciate the intricacy and craftsmanship of lacemaking using needles, we weren't interested in acquiring a pieces to take back home with us. We felt it just wasn't suited to our taste/style.

The real reason why we wanted to visit this little island of approximately 3,000 is for their famed colorful houses. There is actually a specific set of rules that residents must follow when it comes to painting their houses. When a resident wants to paint their abode, they make an official request with  the local government, which in return, will tell the resident the choices of acceptable colors for their particular house lot. What do you all think about these rules?
