Dear sumerians,
I hear you are trying to find another river valley to live in. A good place for you to move to would be the Indus River Valley. The land is very fertile and it would be a great place for you to farm and has many places for you to fish. This river valley would be a great move from where you are now. i hope you find the place you are looking for.
sincerely,
your travel agent

post 1. introduction
I am interested in music, robot unicorn attack, wake boarding and I volunteer at the firehouse. I like to roller blade and ride the quad. Something that makes me unique is that I can play the didgeridoo. I took Western Civ because Mr. Delrusso told me it would be an awesome class to take. Ancient civilizations intrigue me because of all the structures they were able to build with the limited resources they had. In this class I would like to get good grades, learn more about ancient civilizations, and get a new found respect from Mr. Campbell.
