If Americans were commissioned to make their own Venice,(reply>), @Emilio Fernandez sounds like New Amsterdam,(reply>), Emilio Fernandez I have a feeling that would be a disaster.,(reply>), @Bismuth Crystal unlike roads,and the canals in venice,very few of the canals in marathon are connected (the same goes for the rest of the florida keys) most of them are straight lines from the ocean to land. Only a couple have points where you can turn off into another canal. In marathon, you are never more than one canal from the ocean,whereas in venice they are interconnected, so you couls have to go through tens of canals. <br><br>Marathon:<br><br><i>_________</i><br>|    |     |       |<br>|   ---    |       |<br>|    |     |       |<br><br> The sea<br><br>Venice:<br><i>______</i><br>|_/_/-__|<br>|/ / ----- |<br>-------------,(reply>), What do you think climate change is for?,(reply>), @Iron Pro There are many cities in the Keys where the primary means of transportation between islands is by boat. They have been named in this comment section. Even if that weren't the case, I fail to see how differences equate to them being "NOTHING" alike. Certainly not less alike than Venice and a city... well, see my above reply to the other person.
