A Scene From "ALL BECAUSE OF A CUP OF COFFEE"

"Which way do we go now? I asked cheerfully. 
Where is this famouse VALLEY OF THE CHEESETTES?"

Thea waved her paw in one direction. "Oh, it's right around here," she answered. I unfolded a map. That's when I noticed something. The whole island was shaped like a giant butterfly! How very odd, I thought.

I looked around me. There was green everywhere. Green Trees, green bushes, green grass. This place was a gardener's dream. I stepped forward into the high grass. 

A Scene From 'Lost Treasure Of The Emerald Eye'

I painted a scene from the story "Lost Treasure Of The Emerald Eye". Here is what Geronimo Stilton had to say,

Standing upright on the trunk, I scanned the horizon for Thea and Trap. Not a head or tail in sight. By afternoon, I was beginning to lose hope. But then I spied two very, very small dots in the distance. My heart beat so FAST even my fur stood up to see what all the fuss was about. 

Exact Locations Where Geronimo Cycled Across America

Today, I learnt about how to locate the exact position of a place on the earth. The exact position of a place on earth is located using co-ordinates measured by latitudes and longitudes. I watched few videos that my Amma showed on youtube. 

Latitudes are lines that run across the globe in parallel fashion from east to west and they are called as parallels of latitudes. The distance between each parallel line is 69 miles and it is called as one degree. Each degree is further divided into 60 minutes. Each minute is further divided into 60 seconds. The equator is the middle of the earth at zero degree and it runs across from east to west half away from north and south pole. The line at 23.5 degree  North is called as the Tropic of Cancer. The line at 23.5 degree South is called as the Tropic of Capricorn. The region between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn are called as Tropics. These regions are known for their hot temperature and dense forests. 

Longitudes are lines that run across the globe from North to South and they are called as Meridians of Longitude. Longitudes are not parallel like Latitudes. The zero degree Longitude is called as the Prime Meridian. 

Now, I am going to locate the places one has to pass during the bicycle race called as the 'Race Across America'. I am also going to map it with the exact co-ordinates.
