Favorites from Venice

IMG_3233As we begin packing to leave Venice for Rhodes, I wanted to take a moment to jot down a few favorites that really made the trip worthwhile and that I definitely want to try upon our next visit.

  1. Travel to the islands beyond Saint Mark’s Square, such as Murano for their Venetian glass and Burano for lace. We did half day trips on each island, which allowed time to enjoy lunch in Murano before taxing to Burano for an afternoon of museum hopping.IMG_4412
  2. Exploring takes a great deal out of you so, it is imperative that you stop for a cappuccino or espresso break during the day, along with enjoying a baked treat. This is the perfect way to relax and rejuvenate!!!

  3. Get up early and have the city to yourself {for a few moments} before throngs of site-seers invade the territory.
  4. Have cocktail hour at Bacaro Jazz ristorante from 4-6 pm, you can buy one drink and get the second free all while listening to rock and jazz. Enjoy a sip a drink or two, as it doesn’t get any better…. saluti!!!!

Travel stylishly,

Museu do Amanhã {Museum of Tomorrow}

IMG_3061 IMG_3064 IMG_3063 A science museum in the city of Rio designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava.  The museum has partnerships with Brazil’s leading universities, global science institutions and collects real-time data on climate and population from space agencies and the United Nations.

IMG_3080Built near the waterfront of Pier Maua, the Museu do Amanhã {Museum of Tomorrow} is where many will come to see sci-fi fantasy objects such as lasers, robots and space travel, but will be disappointed to find no technology on display. The museum mixes science and its innovative design on sustainable cities.

I love when art and architecture come together so, stylishly!
