I’m off again on another exciting adventure! This very unusual city of called
the “City of Water”. Can you believe there aren’t any cars here? Everybody
gets around in a boat in this city, which has 150 canals and 400 bridges. I
took a ride in one of the long black boats called a gondola. The gondolier—
the person who gave me the boat ride--- wore a traditional striped shirt and
a straw hat with a long black ribbon on it. He used long poles to steer the
boat through the narrow canals. This city of water, which includes more than
100 islands, is sinking about 1/3 of an inch each year. The city was settles
in the 8th century.
Do you know where I am visiting today?
