Venice in daylight

Last Saturday me and two friends decided to take a day trip to Venice since our first time seeing the city was at night during Carnavale...
We hopped on the 10:30 train to Venezia and arrived an hour and half later in front of the Grand Canal. We didn't have a game plan for this trip because we just wanted to retrace what we'd seen there before and just hang out in Venice. We hunted down the outdoor pizza stand from before which has the best pizza I've had so far! So good!
Then we walked all around Venice from the San Rialto bridge to San Romano square.
There were so many Americans there! For three students who go to school in a very small city were you HAVE to speak Italian to get around, this was mind blowing. We kept being surprised when we heard English in passing. Even vendors automatically spoke English to us and I know I got a little annoyed when they spoke English to me after I spoke in Italian to them. I just wanted to try!
Well, we learned something else about Venice too...no picnicking allowed! Ha ha in Venice if you want to sit and eat you must do so at a restaraunt or at an outside vendor. We were sitting down at the Duomo in San Romano square, drinking our 1 liter juice boxes when the police walked up and told us to stand up or find a bench somewhere. That was interesting..
So, we walked around Venice some more and found a cool little alleyway that ended with a canal and snuck onto the steps that lead down to the water. We liked our new pinicking spot, which was free of annoying American high schoolers on field trips. We just sat and watched the gondolas go by...
