The temp ranges around 17.1 °C to 14.9°C. Potugal looks a lot like Spain, the old looking buildings and such it's really pretty. Here is some history on Portugal Portugal won its independence from Moorish Spain in 1143. An early Celtic tribe, the Lusitanians, are believed to have been the first inhabitants of Portugal. Well this time I traveled by bus and there happened to be a problem because the buses tire popped and I got so mad. I was going to be late for he tour. It didn't cost much just about 70 dollars for a bus ticket but other then that it wasn't that much. The biggest difference between my last one and this one was that my last one was more site full then the last one there was no statues or anything.

the name of the location I am going to be going to is Madagascar. Which is right next to South America. The capital of Madagascar is Antananarivo. The countries that border Madagascar are South America, Antarctica and Australia. The ocean that borders Madagascar is the Indian ocean. The weather there is mostly warm there and people go there to get away for a while. At least that's what I've heard. My location looks like a normal island would. In my friends opinions they would say that Madagascar is a beautiful vacation spot. History I found put about online is King Andrianampoinimerina (1787–1810) ruled the major kingdom on the island, and his son, Radama I (1810–1828), unified much of the island. The French made the island a protectorate in 1885, and then, in 1894–1895, ended the monarchy, exiling Queen Rànavàlona III to Algiers. A colonial administration was set up, to which the Comoro Islands were attached in 1908, and other territories later. In World War II, the British occupied Madagascar, which retained ties to Vichy France. Very interesting stuff!! I guess i could say that Madagascar is an important location because of it's natural habitats there.

Dear Diary, I've learned a lot about cigarettes like what they would do to me if I smoked them. If I were to start smoking it would not be a very good idea because if I were to start and I liked them I would not be able to stop smoking when I'm older. Also it could do a lot of bad things to my body like for example I could get lung cancer if I were to smoke. A lot of things could happen to me if I were to smoke cigarettes.
I've also learned what is in cigarettes like carbon monoxide, tar, and nicotine which would get me addicted the most. There are much, much more toxic substances in cigarettes. Also if I think about it I would be freaked out to smoke because of what is in cigarettes. Like for example there is a substance that is called formaldehyde and it preserves dead bodies and it sounds really gross and sounds really bad for me. This is why I never would wanna smoke cigarettes.
Finally the other thing that I know about cigarettes is that cigarettes are bad for me because if I were to smoke them I could not only hurt myself but I could hurt my loved ones. For example if I were to have children when I'm older I would be the problem because I would spend lots and lots of money on cigarettes and not enough on anything else. Also I could give my child second hand smoke athsma which is almost as bad as athsma. I would feel so bad! = (

Today is different from my character because in those times you had to do chores around the house right now I don't. My family is also very different because only my step dad works my mom is a stay at home mom. In my government we don't have hills full of flowers there is just lots and lots of farm land for corm, cabbage,and lettuce. Also were I live there are not many people. The event that happened to Sabriel never happened to me. So far there hasn't been a very good event that has happened.
