Since it has been close to a month that I have gone 3,000 miles down the Silk Road and this journey has been a very interesting one I have had many things happen to me by having to get a new camel because the one I had died of hydration. The reason along the way it was very hot and we needed to get a certain amount of miles in but sadly the camel could not handle it.

Now that I have traveled over 3,500 miles across the Silk Road I have learned so much and seen many things that I will always remember I have also gathered enough money from trading my gems. The thing about this journey is to always make sure never to forget the journey your taking it's not where your going that matters it's about the journey that you take getting there.
