This week I am going to the Gulf of Taranto, which is in Italy. The capital of Italy is Rome. there are only 5 other country's that border Italy, and they are France, Germany, Vienna, Milan, and Croatia. The bodies of water that surround Italy is the Mediterranean sea. This gulf is located at 35º north and 17º east. Right now the temperature is 70ºF to 80ºF. It looks like every other place in the world, but in some places they have water for streets. Italy is Famous for the coliseums and the leaning tower of Pisa. this Location is important to me because I have all ways Dreamt of going to Italy and now it has really happened. It is only 503.13 miles away from my last location. To get here I took a boat and it only cost me $1099.00 for the boat, Car and Hotel. I did not have any trouble with my traveling and the biggest differnce is the people they

Forth Location
This week I am going to is the gulf of Gabes, in Tunisia. The capital of Tunisia is Tunis. Libya and Algeria are the only country that border Tunisia. The only body of water that is near Tunisia is the Mediterranean Sea. The Gulf of Gabes is located at 34º north and 10.25º east. Tunisia is constant sunshine and warm water. The height of summer is a little too hot for most tastes, so July and August are regarded as 'off-season'. Between October and May is a more comfortable time to visit, with temperatures ranging between 54°F and 82°F. Tunisia is mostly a grassland but it al so has some deserts. Tunisia's first President Habib Bourguiba had much hands-on political experience, after many decades serving among the leadership of the independence movement. He was instrumental in obtaining full independence for Tunisia in 1956. He dominated the government until his removal in 1987. During his years in office, his accomplishments included: a law reform, economic policies which detoured briefly in a socialist direction, a moderate but steady improvement in standard of living, and a foreign policy which retained an independent approach while maintaining trade and economic connections to the west. Ben Ali became President of the Republic in 1987, and remains so today. His economic policies have enphasized a market orientation. His attempt at reapproachment with Islamist groups did not meet expectations. The ruling party was reorganized. Under his leadership Tunisia's economy continued to perform at a pace which yielded a moderate but overall steady rate of growth. This location is important because its one of the only gulfs in Africa. Tunisia is 6405.54 miles away from Peru. I had to fly into the air port in Tunis And i only had to stop 2 times and only had to pay $3459.29 for the whole trip.
Third Location
This week I am going to Gulf of Guayaquil, the gulf is in both Ecuador and Peru, but I will be staying in Peru. The capital of Peru is Lima, Ecuador, Brazil, Bolivia, Columbia, and Chile border this country that I am staying in. the Pacific ocean is the only body of water that is around Peru. Peru is located at 10º south and 76º west. Peru has a really nice climate becuase it is close to the Equator. I have to travel about 10117.35 miles from Beijing, China to Lima, Peru. The total cost of the whole trip is about $8,649.97. I did not have any trouble with my fight.
