Do you want to know a secret?
Shawn and I (Shawn's mom) have been talking about what it would be like to live in a city built on water. How would he get to school? Where would the sidewalks be? How would everyone put out their garbage (that was Shawn's question)?
After many lunchtimes of discussion, Shawn set to work with his Legos building a city. You can see his creation in this video.
And now for the secret.... we're going to travel to that city in one week! Stay tuned for Shawn's reaction and photos.

We're back and guess what - we visited a city built on water...
Here are some photos that Shawn picked out from our trip...

| This is from the patio of our hotel. |
 |
| Mmmmm.... gelato! |
 |
| Shawn loved watching all the boat traffic go by. |
 |
| Some boats have cranes for loading and unloading heavy things. |
 |
| Riding on a water-bus, called a vaporetto, is another of Shawn's favourite things about Venice. |
 |
| Supplies and packages are delivered by boat. |
Shawn's Halloween costume!
 |
| Kids go from store to store at Halloween asking for candy, and they throw confetti and ribbons in the street. |
 |
| Shawn loved going on a gondola ride. |
The Police Boat!!
