The Persian Gulf

Today we are going fishing in The Persian Gulf. We really wanted to see The Persian Gulf. We thought taking a ferry ride would be a fun and a not that challenging thing to do because our arms are still in pain from rowing the canoe down the Tigris River and climbing the Zagros Mountains. When we got their this morning we went to the dock and loaded the ferry. It was cool because we saw so many weird looking tubes and we found out that those are oil reserves. We learned a lot from a man sitting next to us on the ferry. He told us that The Persian Gulf was the worlds largest off shore oilfield. We also learned that there is both salt water and fresh water in The Persian Gulf which we thought was cool. When we got off the boat we went fishing. We put all of the fish back that we caught because we were not sure if we were allowed to fish there.
We are looking forward to getting back to our hotel because today wasn't as fun as the rest of the days we just really wanted to see The Persian Gulf.
