Lake Dey-Dey

I'm at lake Dey-Dey in Australia! I LOVE Australia! I'v always wanted to be here and now I am! The capitol of australia is Canberra! The capital of Australia is Canberra, which is in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). Canberra became the capital of Australia in 1927 and is located in the the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). A project to find a national capital was commenced in the 1890s prior to Federation. The on-going rivalry between Sydney and Melbourne prohibited either city from consideration as the national capital. Contrary to popular belief, Canberra did not replace Melbourne as the National Capital. Melbourne was merely the temporary seat of power, having the only building large enough to hold the Parliament (the Exhibition Building). Australia is surrounded by the Indian ocean. In Australia the tempature varys from -4 to 40 degrees so it stays pretty cold here. But that's okay, I love it! It is so pretty here! I love just sitting here by the shore watching the sunset! It's amazing! Definately worth the two weeks it took to get here and the $100 in gas for the boat. The GPS coordinates for Lake Dey-Dey are 37°42′N 45°19′E. I am exactly 5,255.54 miles away from my last location in Madagascar. Probably the biggest difference from Madagascar to here is defiantly the temperature. Well I got to go, it's almost sunset. BYE!

Lake Ihotry

Hello. Im in Madagascar at Lake Ihotry. Madagascar is really cool. Its a country but its also an island! I just love the idea of that. Antananarivo is the capitol of Madagascar. The recorded history of Madagascar began in the 7th centry when the Arabs established trading posts along the northwest coast of the island. Madagascar's prehistory began when the first human settlers arrived, which included a large component from Southeast Asia. This explains the range of Malagasy features, which form a mixture of genotypes rom both Austronesians and Africans, as well as later Arab, Indian, and European settlers. Madagascar became known to Europeans after the Age of Discovery. From the 17th century through the Scramble for Africia , the British and French colonial empires competed for influence in Madagascar. After a brief de facto protectorate period beginning in 1885 the island became a full formal French protectorate in 1890, then a colony in 1896, and gained full independence from France in 1960 in the wake of decolonization. Madagascar is surrounded by the Indian ocean. the coordinates of madagascar are 20 00 S, 47 00 E. Its really dry here too. honestly I don't see how the lake dosnt dry right up. Its pretty hot here. Just like Lake Victoria, which reminds me, im exactly 1,598.86 miles away from there! i no not that far, but it still cost $50 worth of gas to run the boat over here. yeah not the most fuel efficient. I'm having a great time on my vacation. It's so amazing to have this adventure. I wouldn't trade it for anything else! well I got to go again. BYE!!!

Lake Victoria

YAY! I'm in Africa at Lake Victoria! I didn't even have to take a plane! I made my mom talk my dad into buying a big boat from this guy Greg. He was just gonna take it to a dump so we only paid $500 for it! We just had to pay this dude $100 to fix it up. otherwise we woulda had some problems. Lake Victoria is located in three countrys, Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda. I'm in Kenya. The capitol of Kenya is, Nairobi. The five countries that border Kenya are Ethiopia, Somalia, Tanzania, Uganda, and Sudan, but no bodies of water do. In Kenya it rains alot! but its still pretty hot here. Around 72 degrees this time a year. It Gets humid which is a draw back cuz my hair gets frizzy. Its not to bad though, Kenyas really pretty depending on where you are. Kenya's history goes way back to 1498. Since then Kenya has swaped hands many many times. It has a long history. The coordinates of Kenya are 1 00 N, 38 00 E. I am exactly 6,997.17 miles away from my last location. The biggest diffrence from south America to Africa is that in africia it is really dry and savanna-like with alot of grasslands, while in South America it is so green and rainy, Plus covered in Rainforest's! Well I got to go again. BYE!

Lago Titicaca

HA HA! I was right! Im in South America! Lago Titicaca to be exact! Thats in peru. The capitol of Peru is Lima. Bordering Peru is Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Bolivia, and Chile. Then for bodies of water there is the South Pacific Ocean. Peru is AWSOME!!!!! Peru has a very diverse climate. It has 28 of the 32 world climates. The north-south extension of the country and the presence of the Andes Mountains together produce a very large variety of climates and microclimates for this country. The climate on the coast is subtropical and the region receives very little rainfall. The Andes mountains observe a cool climate with rainy summers and very dry winters. Peru is soo beautiful. It is so nice here and nature shows it with the trees and water wind and everything!!!!! Its amazing! The history of Peru spans several millennia. Peruvian territory was home to the Notre Chico civilization, one of the oldest in the world, and to the Inca Empire, the largest state in Pre-Columbian America. It was conquered by the Spanish Empire in the 16th century, which established a Viceroyalty with jurisdiction over most of its South American domains. Independence was declared in 1821 but consolidated only after the Battle of Ayacucho, three years later. The coordinates of Lago Titicaca are 15°50′11″S 69°20′19 . Right now I am 4065 miles from where I just was! We actually hitchhiked and walked alot of the way. which took about three weeks to get here. i think were gonna have to fly next time tho. UGH! I really hate flying. thats why I asked my parents if we could hitchhike here. I don't get carsick, but flying makes me really nervous. Well i guess thats it. Bye!

Lake Winnipesaukee

Guess where I am! Lake Winnipesaukee! I know, its on the other side of the world from where i just was. Thats right the United States of America. You would not belive how I got back here I was stuck at sea for almost a month! That was one HUGE storm! But now im in Americia, It's nice here anyway! Their capital is Washington D.C., but I'm in central New Hampture.
Bordering America are th Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and th Gulf of Mexico, then Canada and South America. Right now its summer so its really warm here. up here in the north east its freezing winters, and roasting summers. Just the what its supposed to be! Its so beautiful here, so many trees and mountains, its amazing! Nation has so much history too! like the first president George Washington helped fight in the war to win the country's freedom! He ran two terms president but then even tho they begged him to do another term he thought it not fair so he let som1 else run! he must have been a really great president! America is a very important location beacuse it shows other countrys that if you fight for freedom it will come your way! hey I looked it up online and here are the cordinates for where I am right now 43 35 56 N 71 19 23 W. So thats 10,838.05 miles away! I swear worst storm EVER! But it was still really exciting! I can see why there are so many sailers! Being caught in storm is kinda exciting, though thats probly just me. I always was a dare devil! But the bad news is that my boat is wrecked. Makes me really glad that we actually had the money to get a new one! Its not as good but it is still good enough to get us around! So I'm happy! Well I got to go! Bye!

Entry 5

Things today can be really diffrent from medieval times. Then in other ways they are the same. The government is way diffrent. the laws were way stricter back then. one mistake in belifs or acctions and its off with your head! The events havnt changed much at all. we celebrate the same today as we did back then. and then family has also stayed the same as well.
