Silk Road
By Christian Berglund

I started in Xian I figured I would miss my home. I started of on horse back. My wife packed me a cold lunch of dumplings and rice. That didn't last long. I will especially mis waking up and seeing this temple that you see now.

STOP 2 TURUFAN CHINA

• It was mostly desert very hot and dry.
• It was too hot and dry for my horse I had to take a camel.
• The food was great lots of good grapes and melons and stuff
• The culture there is gushi or jushi.
• I slept in a very low sitting bed and it was firm also.

• This place was also mostly desert
• They recommended I take camel back
• Most people here are Chinese and or Islamic

• Istanbul is a peninsula with a nice ocean breeze and is nice and cool
• I decided to mostly use horse back but when I came to a body of water I used a boat
