I really don’t know what to think about going home, I’m really excited to see my friends and family but I’m also going to miss trying different foods and just seeing the world. I have absolutely loved almost all the food we have encountered during the trip, but the trip did not fix my hate for sauteed spinach. I...
My eyes could barely open, it felt like there was ten pound weights on each of my eye lashes. My eyes were extra heavy because I woke up every hour. I don’t understand why I’m having so much trouble waking up now because I had no problem waking up at 12:30, 1:30, 2:30, and 3:30. Well if I want...
The only way to find your limits is to push them. On our first day of trekking I got a reality check, I realized how long a kilometer actually is. Our first day of trekking we walked 10 kilometers, and it took way longer than I thought it would. I thought it would take about 45 minutes but it...
Ancient Structures Tall Impaling the sky Worshiping the sun Ancient Stuck Ha sn’t moved for thousands of years Won’t move I was in the car shortly after crossing the Nile, and when I looked to the left what I saw looked like a gigantic spike coming out of the ground. What I saw was the Great Pyramids of Giza....
3/3/16 After spending a long night at the Nairobi airport we arrived in Uganda. We tried to get into many lounges to sleep in but every one we tried they did not accept us. Instead of getting to stay in a nice luxury lounge we slept in the kids area, which luckily for my family I qualified for the...
2/8/16 Today is basically a flying day but right now we are in a layover, and we are in Johannesburg S. Africa. In 1948 there was apartheid in S. Africa much like the segregation in the U.S, just 1000 times worse. We got to see the apartheid museum and we got to see Nelson Mandela’s house, he was a freedom...
Rio has some of the best beaches on this trip. Comparing Rio’s beaches to La Paloma is like comparing a dragon to a rock. Everything is better, such as it is not windy at Rio’s beaches, the water is warmer, and the sand is so much better. And all of the beaches in Rio had fun things to do, from being crushed...
On the boat I was amazed watching the colossal sized chunks of the glacier splash as they hit the water. When I first put on the crampons, I was surprised how light they were. I was expecting them to weigh ten pounds each. When I got on the glacier I was wowed by how many...
Everybody in South America is super kind to us. They give us directions to places, they help us learn their language, and all in all are super nice. I honestly did not think that the people here would like us as much as they do or be anywhere as nice to us as they are. On New Years Eve these...
I’m getting ready for the trip in a couple of months. I’m really excited for the trip because I get to see different cultures. I am wondering what kind of food egyptians eat. And see what their houses look like, are they adobe or are they like our houses here in the states. I also want to see agriculture....
