Ullswater is where the location where Wordsworth is talking about when he wrote the poem, "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud." The poem was inspired by a journal entry written by his sister, her taking note of what she saw one day while walking along Glencoyne Bay. Ullswater is located in Great Britain, and is a long river.

The Garonne--a river in southwest France and northern Spain
The Garonne is a river in Gascony near the family chateau of Emily St. Aubert. I would recommend sunscreen and sunglasses. If you want to see the Garonne someday, you should book a Viking River Cruise (after the plague is over and after you've become rich/retired). Fun fact: there are efforts to save the endangered European sea sturgeon in the Garonne, but in 1584 there were probably lots of sturgeons still--by the early 19th century they were over using them to produce caviar.

Wellingtons or a pistol?
