"You're lucky you're here in the off-season," the woman said without a smile in a thick Italian accent. "There is a room, for eighty euros. But it is on the Lido."
The what?" Toby asked.
Isn't there anything cheaper?" asked Dylan, who suddenly shed his usual shyness after hearing the price of a single room.
The tourism office worker rolled her eyes and found no humor in the ignorant American boys. She instead drew out a map of Venice without saying a word and with a highlighter marked where they were a few footsteps from Santa Lucia train station and then on the other side of the large sheet of paper circled the Lido too. The island might as well have been Crete for all Dylan knew. The map was a maze of brown and blue, Venice's waterways standing out as the salient feature of the region's aqueous terrain. The long, thin strip of land that was the Lido reminded the two teens of Long Island. They went there last summer with their parents.

Italy v. Argentina Italy's population (July 2011 estimate) is 61 million and the country has a growth rate of 0.42%. The country has a higher death rate than growth rate, but the impact of this is mitigated somewhat by migration. If the current population and growth rate is extrapolated out to 2050, Italy would have 71.85 million people by 2050. Argentina currently has 41.77 million people. The current population growth rate
