Amazing Race- Fifth Location

My 5th stop is at the Ebro River Delta in Spain, Europe and the capital of Spain is Madrid. The countries bordering Spain are Portugal, and France. This only touches one body of water the Atlantic Ocean. The GPS coordinates are 3729.33 N 4039.90 W. Spain's climate is around the same temperatures as I live in. Spain has beautiful features in some parts but others are differnt with lots of bulls and fighting, just like any other country had differences. The historical rate of growth of the delta is demonstrated by the city of Amposta. The Ebro River delta is 10041.67 miles away from the Burdekin River delta, Australia. I got to Spain by an air plane and using a rental car! It cost me $2,103 to do this and rent a hotel room. I only had one problem getting there when I switched planes I almost missed the next one to get on, oops! The biggest difference Australia is that there are not wild animals everywhere in Spain.

My fourth stop is the Burdekin River delta, In Queensland Australia. The capital is Brisbane. The countries bordering Queensland are the Northern Territory, New south Wales and South Australia. The two oceans surrounding this are the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The GPS coordinates are 3615.00 S, 0935.63 E. The weather is Very hot and humid, but very nice!

The history of Australia began when dutch explorers first sighted the landmass in the 17th century. Theres nothing important that we chose about this place but I always have wanted to go there so its quite a experiment. It is 10,143.17 miles away from the Mississippi River Delta. I got to my fourth location by an air plane and rental car to travel in Australia. and No i didn't have any layovers but I had to switch a couple planes. It cost $2,350 to travel there including the hotel room flight and rental car, taxes included. I am feeling very good about my traveling and having a lot of fun in all the places I have gone too! and I'm excited to go to my two other destinations.

Osteoporosis Report

3-11-09
Dear Granny,
I have been studying osteoporosis for the past two weeks and learned a lot and also found out things I thought were interesting! I wanted to write this to you because I know you're healthy, and it affects women who are older the most, and I thought of you!
Osteoporosis is one of the leading causes of bone fractures and breaks such as hip, wrist, spine and others. If you feel as if your bones are getting weaker and you are loosing strength you may want to consider having a bone density test! This test will give you the results in 2-4 days, and the test only takes 10-20 minutes.
I learned that fractures are mainly diagnosed by x-ray, telling if you have any broken bones. Then they will do another test most likely to see if you had a fracture by weak bones coming from osteoporosis possibly. When or if you do get diagnosed by it then they will be put you on medication. The doctor will tell you to take vitamin D and have a lot of calcium to help this. They also say to have a healthy lifestyle and exercise to stay strong and NOT to drink a lot of alcohol and to not smoke.
I hope that you like knowing that I have learned about osteoporosis and what I learned! I also hope that you know its out there and it wouldn't be random or unlikely to affect you. So maybe you learned something by me learning it and telling you!
Love you,
Kayla
