My Trip Around the World, Venice

Right now I am riding a gondola on the Grand Canal, everything is so beautiful here. It's sad to think that Venice is slowly sinking bit by bit back into the water.
Did you know...
Venice is built on 117 islands, features 150 canals and over 400 bridges
The Italian flag is green, white, and red
The colors of the Italian flag represent three virtues: hope (green), faith (white), and charity (red).
Italy is slightly larger than Arizona
Almost 20% of Italy's population is over 65 years old
