Hello, this is Olivia posting. The LOJ have arrived in Turkey where the Tigris and Euphrates River start. I am so surprised that being so close to the Tigris River I have not seen any tigers here. We're so happy to be by water considering how hot and dry it is here in this dreadful desert land. I have heard from the the natives that when the rivers come together they are called the Mesopotamia. Thank God we got here when we did though because Julianna keeps complaining about the lack of water here.
The Tigris river looks about 1,150 miles long on the map. It runs through 3 other countries besides Turkey before it reaches the Shatt al-Arab(the mouth of the river). The 3 countries are Iraq, Iran, and Syria.
The Euphrates river looks about 1,728 miles long on the map ending at the Shatt al-Arab which is where the Tigris and Euphrates meet and the rivers end.
