The Isola di San Michele (St. Michael) is dedicated to the dead, and is occupied only by churches and by long ranks of tombs.
While heading out to Murano and Burano we got off the Vaporato too soon and walked around this peaceful island.
After the crowds of Venice it was kind of nice to be quiet and alone with our thoughts.

I am posting this photo in honor of the Jemery Richman, the father of a little girl who was killed in the Sandy Hook School Shooting.
It’s heartbreaking that our country can’t come together and actually do something about gun control.
Two students from the Parkland School Shooting have also committed suicide.
How is it that New Zeland can agree on gun control and my country is still fighting over it?
