Wow another adventure. This trip has been tons fun of so far. Well today we are sailing on the Tigris River and we learned from our brochure that It starts in in Turkey and then unites with the Euphrates River and that is called The Shatt al-Arab and then the Shatt al-Arab goes in to the Persian gulf. We learned that the Tigris River is 1,150 miles long. It is a lot of hard work to paddle a boat. We almost tipped over our canoe at least 3 times so far but luckily we haven't because we have our laptop on board and also our cell phones. It seems like every day we just have more and more fun on this trip. We are so lucky that we have only had one injury so far on this trip which wasn't that serious. It is sort of hard to travel long distances on The Tigris because of all the dams but we are going to go as far as we can until we get told to stop. Also later on we are going to try to fish so we can get some food because we are running out of food. Even though fish isn't that good we would rather have it then nothing. We got to go for now. I hope you continue reading our blog posts.

I like the way you are writing the diary. Make sure you include 3 or 4 facts about whatever you are talking about...in this one give a couple more facts about the river.
