A much better experience. <br />http://www.flowerstales.com/2011/11/japan-day-3-tokyo-disney-sea.html<br /><br />From what I remember, it was a glass vase he made. And I think he broke it right afterwards to melt back down again. <br />Wandering the markets was fun. T liked stopping at the fruit stands to see what interesting new things existed there that we didn't have back home. <br />It's difficult to compare the gelato to anything back home. Over there gelato is everywhere. So many shops have a dozen different flavors on display, and only 1-2 Euro each, it's easy to feel like a frozen treat. I haven't found a city back in the US that can compare.

The glass blowing demo must have been interesting to watch...did he make anything special during the demo? Local markets must have been fun to wander through and just explore. Gelato looks yummy...what better place than in Italy? Ever stumble upon a just-as-good or better gelato in the US? EOMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
