After 18.5 hours of travel and moving forward through 9 time zones we landed in Venice 27.5 hours after leaving San Diego. Needless to say we were a little tired and confused as to what time it was, for the record, it was 10am the next day by the time we landed. After catching up on some sleep I was eager to get out and wander around, Amanda on the other hand was perfectly happy sleeping off the jet lag, so I set out alone with my camera. I didn't realize it at the time but that night I would get some of the best pictures of Venice because during the day there were so many people and the streets were so narrow, it just wasn't very condusive to getting the great shots I wanted. Venice was awesome, but very crowded since it was summer. If we ever get a chance to go back, we'll plan it for the off season so it won't be so crowded with tourists.
