Ce sent this in a few days ago but I had no time for watching it. Then I got a little sick. Now I'm so glad that I'm home cos I have time to open and rediscover my inbox.
As Ce said in that email, gee! "Now THIS is bunny!"

Venice during the carnival is amazing. It is crowded and most places and shops are overpriced but without the people wearing masks and costumes Venice would be just another city.
During the carnival in every moment something is happening. :)
The Venice carnival is here: http://www.carnevale.venezia.it
Party people
At night there is high tide and some of the city streets are flooded. Some of the houses are flooded as well. I have no idea how they solve the problem but it seems okay to have your 1st floor windows half full of water though. 
San Marco and carnival performances
SIX by the French group La Salamandre
The Spanish Incesctos were fun!
The masks during the carnival are everywhere. The prices vary from 5 EUR to 500 EUR or more. Most of the masks are handmade in Venice but cheap Chinese production can be found as well. The last days of the carnival were the big sale period and most of the items were offered at 50% off. 
Murano is famous for its glass traditions. The island can be reached within a few minutes from Venice and actually Venice itself is full of Murano glass souvenir shops. 
This is the first glass ring I purchased. It took me about an hour to choose one :) All glass rings are extremely big and if you have small size fingers you are lost. I desperately wanted a ring so I decided to wear it on the gloves. Later that day it slipped off, fell and broke into pieces. 
The second one I bought was this one. It is big size as well but I wear it veeeery carefully now :)
