    After traveling for nearly 24 hours since Sunday it has been a little confusing. We did sleep yesterday afternoon until around 10 pm and then between midnight and 8 this morning. I woke up still a little dazed.
    We are staying in The Cannaregio neighborhood and there are very few tourists here, so our walk through the Jewish Ghetto for morning coffee and cornetti was very peaceful.
    My first impressions of this part of Venice are entirely visual. Everywhere I look, the colors, the textures, these are what scenic artists have been trying to duplicate on stage and screen for decades. Im trying to resist photographing everything I see. I am enjoying our first day. We havent ventured into the center of Venice yet. Thats for another day.
    More tomorrow.

    Heres a video which describes our neighborhood:
