Webquest Month one-Chang'an Late this morning I told myself I needed to go out and get more silk for my shop because I was running out. I can go to four diffrent places Chang'an,Samarkand,Kashgar,and Istanbul. I have decided to go to all four places. My first stop will be Chang'an. We are traveling by boat and foot.

I have just arrived in Chang'an. Their Bell Tower that marks the the __start__ of the silk road is beautiful. In Chang'an I have seen a lot of people trading for silk.I just got some beautiful blue green silk.This is one of the most beautiful and most traditional cities I have ever been to.

This night I have just passed by the massive Ming-era Southern Gate. It is so grand and gigantic. My day in Chang'an has been wonderful but my time has come to an end I will always cherish my time in Chang'an.

Month 2 Samarkand Morning- I have arrived in Samarkand. It has been a good city so far. They have some very beautiful silk to trade there. So far this has been the __best__ trading spot yet. I just got a __cream__ colored silk this will go beautiful in my shop.

I have just found the religion of Samarkand. There religion is Muslim. It's a diffrent religion from what I know but it's very cool to learm about others diffrent cultures and beliefs. I have also just visted another building. It is called Shir Dar Madresah [ Lion's Gate School ].

My time in Samarkand has to end. My time here was terrific! I have learned a lot of diffrent things here. The most interesting thing that I have learned is about their religon Muslim. This has been the most historic city ever!

Month 3 Kashgar Today I am arriving in Kashgar. What an interesting city. I have got to get silk from here. I think I'll get the color white. Well I didn't get the color white instead I got this luxrious purple silk.The silk will go pretty good with the colors in my silk shop. I have just passed by a music shop. How cool! I have just tried out one of the instruments. They are very cool the man in the store let me have it. I can't wait to show my friends back home the instrument. I have just walked by the Abakh Khoja Tomb. What a historical building. Here in kashgar is very interesting. The Abakh Khoja Tomb is the most historical building that I been to yet. I am leaving Kashgar tonight I have to pass the Takalmaken Desert. Crossing the desert was a very difficult experience. The desert was a brutal thing but I wouldn't trade it because I wouldn't be able to cross the silk road!

My time that I spent here in Kashgar was very interesting. I loved __learning__ about the instruments and can't wait to show everybody. Also I love the silk I got here. It is the prettiest yet.

Month 4 Instanbul This is the morning of my last day on the silk road. My last stop will be instanbul. I __bet__ it will be amazing. I have just got here in Instanbul. I have just got some new silk it's green and so beautiful. Can't wait to put it out in my shop. I have just passed by the St. Eirene Cathedral. It's a beautiful church. I am going to see the Hippodrome. I'm so excited to go to see it. The Hippodrome was so historic and I will cherish that moment forever. My last thing that I visited is the Bronze Quadriga. It was so magnificent! My journey down the silk road was a fantastic journey. I will always remember my journey down the silk road forever!

I think the city that had the most selection of silk would be Kashgar. Kashgar because they had more things that you can trade for. In my opinion that's the city that has the most silk.
