What else should I know about Italy?
Well, I have a report dew tommorow. It is about Italy. Your supposed to write a "letter" to your friend. This is what I have so far: "Dear Jenny, Ciao! I am here, in Italy! It is such a beautiful place. Today, I visited Rome, the capital of Italy. It is about 43 degrees north latitude, and 13 degrees west longitude. Rome is one of the oldest cities in Italy. There is so much history that I need to learn! Yesterday, I was in Venice, Italy. In Venice, they travel by boat, since it is surrounded by water. And all the houses in Venice are built on the water! It’s so different than Illinois. I saw the Leaning tower of Pisa. Did you know that the tower of Pisa tilts about 15 ft? I took a train ride around the Alps Mountains, and I saw a lot of hawks! Most of the people are Catholics. They celebrate Christmas and Easter. Italians like to eat pork, fish, pasta and wine. Their favorite sport is soccer." I don't know anything else. So, should I include more?

- You need to do a lot more research. Are the houses in Venice REALLY built on water? If so, how do you keep them from sinking? Why does the Tower of Pisa lean? Was anything ever done about the leaning? Was the tower ever used as part of an experiment? What did you see in Rome? What about the southern part of Italy? Any interesting places there? Places that were 'wiped' off the map?
- that it once had the richest cities? I think.
- Italy is part of the European Union, and uses a currency called the Euro. Rome hosted the Summer Olympics in 1960. The president of Italy is Giorgio Napolitano.
- Talk about Florence and how Italy was the birthplace of the Renaisance.
