Italy
Venice, Pisa
29.05.2009 - 31.05.2009
In Italy the first place I visited was Venice, one thing i enjoyed viewing was the grand canal. here i saw one of the canal bridges, and learned that there are no cars allowed in the city. next, i looked around at the houses and businesses and learned about how the whole city of Venice is slowly sinking, due to high water levels and sporadic flooding.
Pisa was the next place on my list,here i visited the Leaning Tower of Pisa, here i learned that the tower leans due to poorly laid foundation, in the beginning it leaned to the south east, but now it leans to the south west. it is located in cathedral square in Pisa, Italy.
