LuLu in Baltimore Maryland!

Becky Hinckley (collins)
We've had some interesting weather this past week. It rained for four days straight (there were inches of water in our backyard trashcan) and then the past few days have been sunny and beautiful. Baltimore is much greener than Utah. It is the biggest city in the State of Maryland and is a port town on the Chesapeake Bay. Unfortunately there are no mountains nearby. The most common form of transportation is probably cars, but buses or the metro are also popular for most people who actually live in the city. (Many people can't afford to drive cars and they don't teach driver's education in the high schools, you have to learn at a private instruction school).

Saint Cloud, Minneapolis - Kasey Anderson (B1 ANDERSON)

Teran is in this picture with Jami from Saint Cloud, Minnesota. Saint Cloud is northwest of the capital, Minneapolis. Teran was very curious to learn more about Minneapolis so he asked Jami a few questions.Here’s what he learned. Jami’s favorite place in her area is Munsinger Gardens on the Mississippi River. The most common natural disaster in Saint Cloud is the tornado. The two most common sports there are hockey and ice fishing. According to Jami, the best parts about Saint Cloud are the changes in seasons and that her family is there.

Well, Teran’s got to go since he’s very eager to visit more places, but he’ll be back!

Jesse Christensen's Geognome

My Geognome first went to Suffolk, Virginia. Then my aunt and uncle that live there sent it to Japan. The climate in Virginia is a farly mild climate in summer it gets between 80 and 100 degrees. In the spring and fall is nice regular weather from 50 to 80 degrees. In the winter it is 40 to 60 degrees. They are near the Atlantic Ocean. They have a river in their backyard that indirectly leads there. Here are his pictures. Next he went to Yokosuka, Japan. Which is 45 minutes away from Tokyo. In the summer its hot and humid and in the winter its cool but not too cold. They are near a coast by the name of Tokyo Bay. What makes thier area unique is they live near the largest Naval Base outside of the U.S. And I have included his pictures in tokyo as well.
