Cool Links

These are a couple of links that will help you. The first is a book, Italy from the Inside". Here is a link to a free Chapter, http://www.italyfromtheinside.com/ebook/. It is under $20 and well worth your investment. It also has a companion BLOG/Website that can be found at http://www.italyfromtheinside.com/. Again, well worth your visit. As soon as we get a list of confirmed travelers, we will start to meet, plan, and prepare!

These are two guys working glass in Murano. They shut down during the summer due to the heat. So we may or may not catch them at work in Murano.
