Italy or Bust!

I am planning to go to Italy next year, fall 2009. If anyone has any tips, I'd love to hear them. Yesterday I met with my friend Jan who was there last year. She has a great eye and took some phenominal pictures. I can't wait to go see all that myself.

One of the reasons Jan went was to see the Murano glass in Venice. She's very into glass and has a good collection. After the Italy pictures her albums had pictures of amazing glass here in the US. The hotbed here is in Washington, like this, the Chiluly Bridge of Glass in Tacoma. Who knew it even existed? The whole conversation was so facinating, time just flew by. I got into the car to go home and was astonished five hours had gone by. Thanks for the great afternoon Jan!
