Last Night in Venice

I am loving this free internet at my hotel so am using it when I get the chance. I wish I was staying in Venice another day or two. I enjoy riding the boats, walking around the town and watching people. I did not even go to any museums - but I did get my hair cut!! LOVE IT!!
I walked into a salon and luckily they had time. It was very small, only 3 chairs and one wash station. One girl washed my hair - great job - and then sat me in the seat for the "master" to take over. He really way like an artist. I just told him to do what he wanted - just not too short. He would cut, then gently pull, then cut more. He did some cool cuts - kinda jagged after he cut it blunt. Hard to explain but he kind of cut it to go with my natural curl. Then he abruptly said "stop" (I guess to himself) and he walked away. The girl came back and blew it dry and styled it. I hope to get a pic before I go to bed so I can put it on my blog when I get home. I do not think I will be able to add pics at these computers.
I got my train ticket for Milan - it is so easy to do on the automatic machines, then road the boat-bus around the area. I finally ended up on the island of Murano where they do glass blowing. Unfortunately I was too late to see them do it but I did take a bunch of pics (when no one was looking) at some of the glass the artists made. It was really facinating.
Then I took the boat-bus from the train station to my stop at St Marks Square after dark and again it was magical. I think I have already used that word but it sure describes Venice.
An interesting thing - this morning I was mentioning the table-like things that are all over the place and they use them when water gets high so people can still walk around. When I came out of my hotel, they had started putting them up around the Duamo (church) because that is the lowest part of Venice and there was water on the ground. I will be curious to see if there is more water tomorrow. It will not affect my travel since I go from boat to train but it would be a site to see.
If you have never been to Venice or Florence, I recommend both highly.
More from Milan tomorrow -
