Sixth Location
The lake I am visiting is the Caspian Sea, which is in Iran, a country of Asia. The capital of Iran is Tehran. The countries that border Iran are Azerbaijan, Yerevan, Turkey, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Turkmenistan. The bodies of water that surround Iran are Persian Gulf, Gulf Of Oman, and Arabian Sea. The GPS coordinates are 40°N 51°E. The climate of the Caspian Sea is a desert climate, which is very hot. The Caspian Sea is very beautiful and looks a lot like a ocean. The history of the Caspian Sea is very interesting, there is a vehicle like object that goes on the waters which is actually a lot like a boat and plane together which is called the Caspian Sea Monster. The Caspian Sea Monster can float on water and also fly. The Caspian Sea is important because it is the largest lake in the world but even though it is called the Caspian "Sea", it is still considered a lake. The Caspian Sea is very far from Lake Dey Dey because Lake Dey Dey is in Australia which is not touching any other continents at all. I got to the Caspian Sea by a plane. It costed somewhere around $3600 for the cost of hotels and planes for all of the locations I went to. I liked the experience of going around the world, visiting different lakes because I learned stuff that I would have never learned before. I learned about the lakes, how they look up close, and what I would have to do to get there. My family is very happy to have me home but is also glad that I went so I could learn more about the worlds lakes.

Fifth Location
Lake Dey Dey is in South Australia. The capital of Australia is Canberra. No countries border Australia because it is a continent surrounded by the waters of the Indian Ocean. It is very hot and humid in Australia. There are lots of beaches and kangaroos there. Dutch explorers first sighted the landmass in the 17th century. Lake Dey Dey is important because Australia is a country and a continent. Lake Dey Dey is very far from Lake Victoria because they are on different continents. I got to Lake Dey Dey by a plane which costed about $500. The only problem I had about going to Lake Dey Dey was that i was so far away from my family. I would say the biggest difference between Lake Dey Dey and Lake Victoria is the size because Lake Dey Dey isn't big at all compared to Lake Victoria.

Lake Victoria is in the country of Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda in Africa. The capital of Tanzania is Dar Es Salaam, the capital of Kenya is Nairobi, and the capital of Uganda is Kampala. the countries that are touching Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda are Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia, Zaire, Sudan, Rwanda, Burundi, Ethiopia, and Somalia. The Indian Ocean is touching them. The GPS coordinates are 1°S 33°E. It doesn't get to hot at Lake Victoria, it usually is around the 20 degrees area. Lake Victoria is very calm and pretty but looks a lot like a Ocean. It is very important because it is one of Africa's great lakes. Lake Victoria is very far from Lake Ladoga because they are on whole different continents. I got to my fourth location by a plane. I would not have any layovers on the way. It will cost around $344, plus the cost of a hotel which could vary anywhere from $100-$60 a night.

Third Location
The Lake I am visiting is Lake Ladoga which is in Russia, a country of Europe. The capital of Russia is Moscow. The countries that surround Russia are Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, and Ukraine. Russia is touching the Arctic Ocean, Barents Sea, Baltic Sea, and Black Sea. It is usually hot there. Russia looks alot like London, where there are a lot of castle looking buildings and is city-like. From about 1500 BC the Slavs, an Indo-European group, settle in the region of Poland and western Russia. Lake Ladoga is important because it is the largest lake in Europe and the 14th largest in the world. It is very far from Lake Titicaca to Lake Ladoga because they are on different continents. I got to Russia by a airplane. It would cost about $530 for a plane and $ for a hotel. I did have a bit of a problem traveling all the way to Lake Ladoga because it was so far and it was on a different continent. The biggest difference between Lake Ladoga and Lake Titicaca was that they are from different continents and very far away from each other.

I would like to visit Lake Titicaca which is on the border of Bolivia and Peru. The capitals of Bolivia are Sucre and La Paz. The capital of Peru is Lima. The countries that surround Bolivia and Peru are Ecuador, Columbia, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, and Paraguay. The body of water that touches Peru is the South Pacific Ocean.

Peru has a lot of mountains and Bolivia is mostly calm but both look almost middle ages. The main language of Peru and Bolivia is Spanish. Lake Titicaca is so important because it is one of the highest commercially navigable lakes in the world.

The main body of water that surrounds New Hampshire is the Atlantic Ocean. The GPS coordinates are 43°35′56″N 71°19′23″W. The climate there is fairly warm in the summer and cold in the winter.

The history of Lake Winnipesaukee is that it has been a tourist destination for more than a century, especially for residents escaping the summer heat of Boston and New York City. Lake Winnipesaukee is very important because it is the largest lake in all of New Hampshire.
