Denis and Francis on their journey came up upon Ayas where it was a small town where they made some friends. 

However, they both ]]> 2017-11-21 19:04:40 UTC https://padlet.com/20jnl01/rn800brh5x71/wish/209232763 20jnl01 https://padlet.com/20jnl01/rn800brh5x71/wish/209235241 Marco Polo traveled the silk road city quite easily during his time period.

Denis and Francis on the other hand, dealt with quite a bit of hardships. They were foreigners which caused problems because different visas for cities would not let them cross. 

They both found the beautiful domes and tiles of the buildings. ]]> 2017-11-21 19:11:07 UTC https://padlet.com/20jnl01/rn800brh5x71/wish/209235241 20jnl01 https://padlet.com/20jnl01/rn800brh5x71/wish/209241058 Marco Polo was given a golden pallet to help him travel by the Khan. 

Denis and Francis had to deal with no visas so they took the risk to forge their visas. This brought great danger to them as foreigners especially with military surrounding the city. Denis and Francis only had the letter of Marco Polo to help them travel.

Although it was different, Marco Polo, Denis and Francis, both were able to travel by help of literature. ]]> 2017-11-21 19:23:52 UTC https://padlet.com/20jnl01/rn800brh5x71/wish/209241058 20jnl01 https://padlet.com/20jnl01/rn800brh5x71/wish/209244850 Marco Polo had land marks made up sheep skull and traveled by Pack Mules. 

Denis and Francis traveled through the freezing cold in the remote and and rugged land. They did however, see the landmarks. 

Denis and Francis, as well as Marco Polo struggled on their journey here to make a good habitat for shelter for themselves. ]]> 2017-11-21 19:32:51 UTC https://padlet.com/20jnl01/rn800brh5x71/wish/209244850 20jnl01 https://padlet.com/20jnl01/rn800brh5x71/wish/209246805 Marco Polo inhabited spirits within the "land of the weakers." Marco Polo was amazed by their journey within the silk road city. 

Meanwhile, Dennis and Francis were unexpected and unwelcome visitors. They were given little food and had not well treatment. They also had no camels to buy to help them on their journey as Marco Polo did. 

They both however, had to truly prepare for the next part of their journey in the desert where they would struggle. They also both gained knowledge of the lifestyle here though.

He was able to have hospitality with the Mongol emperor.

Denis and Francis did not have it easy. They were homesick and used to hospitality, which they did not receive; they had no home at all.

They both however began to enter the world unknown. To bothered both sides they were about to discover something new on these next parts of the journey.

Marco  Polo talked about the language of Tibet and how it was their own. He wrote of the big feasts and high dress of those above. Denis and Francis talked about the elaborate decoration Tibet had.

They had to learn the survival skills to travel as Marco Polo did and work with what was given to them and what they had to fight for. Visa's were not easy to obtain and the forgery of one could have caused great danger. They learned along the way and had some dangerous times, yet still continued to fight for their journey. ]]> 2017-11-21 20:31:57 UTC https://padlet.com/20jnl01/rn800brh5x71/wish/209264466
