Mexico is really hot.  When I was there it was 35 degrees in January! And all of the locale’s were wearing fleece pants and long sleeve shirts. 

I went snorkeling and saw lots of fish with bright colored stripes hiding around the coral. There was about 3 different kinds of them.

 I even got to let 3 Olive Riddaly turtles a few feet away from the water.

 In town there is a store where they sell hand made bead animals. To make them they start with a clay or wood sculpture then they cover the sculpture with wax so the tiny colored beads can stick on to the wood or clay. They make detailed drawings that all mean something different.

 And if you like waves you in luck because the waves in Mexico can get around six feet tall! Still though there is a few sting rays. You can see people bring them up in nets. I even saw a puffer fish! I hope you enjoyed my post.

Sandbagged for support and protection. Soldiers feet

rotting inside their own mud filled boots.

stretching endlessly into no man’s land.

Bronchitis, Pneumonia and influenza

bodies

now they lay in flanders fields. 

 Today two classes from are school got to go the Torch relay in Courteney, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. We got to see the torch light the calderon. It was amazing how fast the flames went up. There were thousands of people everywhere especially around the stage trying to take some good pictures of the Olympic torch “it was very exciting” . And I hope you might get to see the torch live too. But who knows maybe you all already have?

White lions are an kind of crossed lion they turn white when they mate with there  relatives ( brother, sister). The white lions usually have birth defects example: three legs instead of four, too many toes and one ear. All these defects make it hard for the lions to survive. I hope you’ve  learned something new!

If you are a tourist or you just want to know about some things about British Columbia I can tell you that there are a lot of attractions including Mt.Washington. Mt.Washington has a lodge and has many ski runs and hiking trails up the mountain. I suggest that you come here if you can. Another attractions that are in Vancouver is Science world another attraction in Vancouver is the sports hall of fame. I myself have been to all these places and I think they are all amazing. What kind of attractions do you have nere you?

Here are some Lego mindstorm robots that I am interested in,

Lego Robots I think are very cool with all the things you can do. Basically they can do anything you want them to do. All you have to is program them. Lego Mindstorm robots are a great thing for people that are going to be engineers for their future job. And here is my favourite link  ‘ Lego engineering‘. I hope you learned something new!

What I’m thankful for…

The first thing that I’m thankful for is that the wars in most places of the world have stopped except  Afghanistan which I hope will stop soon.

The second thing that I’m thankful for is that some people are tyring to help and make a difference on the envierment in a good way.

The third thing that I’m thankful for is that I have a loving family and very kind Grandparents.

What Are You Thankful For?

Today my cousins and I hiked to lake Helen Mackenzie, it was sunny and cool a perfect day for hiking. On our way up to the lake we saw lots of Whiskey Jacks and two Stellar Jays. We looked for Vancouver Island Marmots but we didn’t see any, although we did see some a couple of weeks ago on Mt.Washington. Vancouver Island Marmots are a very endangered species so endangered that all the Vancouver Island Marmots  in the whole world lives on this one mountain in British Colombia Canada. What do they look like? They kinda look like a Gofer but bigger the two that I saw were a foot and a half long! Because they are going to hibernate soon they have to fatten up to survive the winter but sometimes unfortunetly they don’t make it through the winter and die.
