I am going to Trummelbach Falls in Switzerland. The capitol of Switzerland is Bern. The countries that border Switzerland are France, Italy, Austria, and Germany. There are no bodies of water around Switzerland because it is in the center of a bunch of countries. The GPS coordinates of this waterfall is 6° 34′ 8.65″ N, 7° 54′ 53.94″ E. In the summer the temperature can raise to 86 degrees F. My location is a series of ten waterfalls located in a mountain. This famous mountain is a huge tourist attraction and gets profit every year by people who would like to experience it's angelic qualities. This location is important because it lets us know how a lot of mountains were formed and we can learn how it was made. It is exactly 4,708.67 miles from Zimbabwe to Switzerland. I got here by a plane. It costed 472$ to get from Zimbabwe to Switzerland. No Problems at all. The biggest difference here compared to my last location would be the languages! I had a hard time putting together and forming.

I'm going to Angel Falls in Venezuela, South America. I am traveling by car since the last place I went to is in the same country. The capital of South America is Buenos Aires. The countries that border Venezuela are Brazil, Columbia, and Guyana. The oceans that border this country is the Atlantic Ocean and The Caribbean Sea. The GPS coordinates are 5°58′03″N 62°32′08″W / 5.9675°N 62.53556°W. Venezuela has all four seasons as well as Buenos Aires. The cost of my rental car will be $51 a day. There was problems with my rental car because I stopped at a gas station to fill up and my engine started smoking and the carborator was faulty then it wouldn't start. You could say I was a little mad but luckily the gas station had a pay fone and the clerk of the store knew number for a tow truck. In a couple hours I was back on the road. This trip was different then going from my hometown to Niagara Falls because I took a plane but now that I'm driving it takes SOO much more work. Maybe I'll take a plane next time or possibly a boat?

Aloha! My name is sunnshine4814. I am 18 years old and my newest idea is to take a quest around the Planet and visit many many waterfalls! Ever since I was a little girl I always wanted to see all minds of waterfalls. I always thought they were so pretty and simple that I just wanted to see them all. They amaze me. It is so peaceful and beautiful. I love the feeling of the misty breeze in my face. Seeing a bunch of waterfalls is a once in a lifetime expirience. I am excited and so isn't my family! They understand what this means to me and they are happy that I get to explore the planet a little more then just seeing a picture on the internet. Well I have to go check and see if my tickets are still reserved. I'm so excited! BYE!!

A lot of people were there. People from nearby towns were there. Men and boys mostly. I think I even saw the grocier placing bets. It was about 3 months ago. The tournaments are very popular. Everybody loved seeing two men killing each other. They were laughing and cheering like no tomorrow. I hated it. I can't stand torture and other barbaric things like that.

I think that Medieval times are very different from Civilization now and the same in many ways a well. Civilization is almost completely dependant on Electricity. But the technology is based on the same ideal, getting things done such as Washing boards versus Washing Machines. Both wash clothes. One may use technology and the other doesn't but it is the same idea.
An example is Family and Culture. Family is just as important now as it was then. Culture is based on the same idea. God and the Bible. There are different versions of the bible but it all means the same thing. There are different beliefs and religions such as Catholic, Christian, Methodist, and many many more. There all based on Gods and a kind of Bible. People have different views on what it says. Some religions may understand it differently but it is still based on the same thing. Although Morals and Virtues have changed now that parenting rolls are changing. Children and teens were handed more responsebility and and now alot are taken away For behavioral reasons. Back in medieval times Children and teens did NOT sass back their parents of the consequences would be severe. Nowadays things like that are not taken as seriously.
Government has changed and developed a lot too. Back in medieval times there were Kings and Queens, nobles, dukes, and such. Now there is the President, Vice President, First Lady, Senators, House Of Representatives, Secretaries, Three Branches of Government. Alot has changed. In Medieval times government was a monarchy. Mono means Singular. SO then one person was in control. Now there is Checks and Balances so power is evenly distributed among all three branches. If it was not balances our great Democracy would eventually turn into a Monarchy. One person in complete power. The wrong person with ALL that power is not smart. They could make rediculus laws stupid decision and put the United States in a utterly horrible complete UPROAR!!!
Events have changes a lot too. Tournaments with killing and other barbaric things are illegal. Now there are baseball and basketball rather then Killing knights. Baseball is called the Favorite American Past Time. NOT KILLING!!!

Medieval Blog Entry 3
In my little town I don't talk to many people except for the butcher, patients, my family and Daisy. Not many people have very much time on their hands to do whatever and talk to little old me. Me and my dad eat mostly meat and vegtables. Fruit on occaisons. We believe it does a body good to eat healthily. We try and maintain a healthy balance of nutrients. In my town called Gracken our house is down the main road take a left at the fork in the road go right at he intersection and about a half of a mile down there is a sign that says "Physician". That is where I live.

In My Village there is a King and Queen. The laws that they create are fair but the punishments are unbearable. The laws are...
I agree with all of these except for the last one. If your poor then you can't expect somebody else to take care of you. That is basically saying "I'LL DO IT FOR YOU" and that is not the way life goes. The punishments are having to stand in he most public place with you attached to this big wooden thing and people walk by and throw things at you. It is completly humiliating.
In my family we are all Christians. The Heavenly father is very important. We take that seriously in our family.
Normally there is no conflict in our little town. Except for this one time Woody Horsekeeper tried rebelling against the king. When he got his punishment his face turned as red as his very own blood! That was very hard to watch but i don't think the fairness is quite right.
- No cheating in bets
- No Stealing
- No Lying
- No rebellion
- Stay Faithful to your Church and God
- You must have a job.
- If you have extra to spare, give to the needy.

Hello my name is Isabella Physician I am 12 and I go to school. My dad is a Doctor but my mother died giving birth to me. My mother was a mid-wife. We live in a cute cottage in the it is small but big enough for me and my dad. I usually help my dad and watch him because being a doctor looks like a nice job to have although not many women have it. I want to be an apprentice to him someday. But for now I just watch in a chair in the corner of the room. At home my chores aren't that hard acually they are quite reasonable.I have to help with housework [like dishes, laundry, grocery shopping], Make dinner, and help feed and milk our cow Daisy.
