Venice on Stilts





As most of you should know Venice is on water. What you may not know is that it's not floating. How they built it is they hammered wooden post's into the mud below the lagoon that Venice is on. Surprisingly the wood didn't rot but the mud hardened it onto something ike stone. What I don't get is that the water above the mud would rot the wood wouldn't it?

One of the mornings I went with my Mom and Uncle (my Uncle and cousin visited us for a week) went to the market. There was a lot of seafood.(of course!)The shrimp were still jiggling and I saw a crab almost escape.
