JAPAN

I just heard about this crazy guy. He biked all the way from Sweden to Nepal, then climbed Mt. Everest by himself. This has inspired me to visit Japan, except I want to do it his way. I will not use any motorized vehicle. This has sprouted an idea. I'll eat Brussels sprouts. Then, from the Yucatan, I will buy a bunch of logs, built a raft, get a guide, and paddle myself to Spain. Then, I will go to Brussels, Belgium. Then, I will carry my raft all the way the coast of India. Then, I will buy some spices, food, and raft my way to Indonesia. Then, I will party all night, then go up to the Philippines. Then I will paddle my way up to Japan. How will I have enough supplies? I will stop at many places. Go to the northern most part of the Yucatan. I will use the remaining logs to make a giant trunk to be carried along by my raft. I will leave my guide at Spain, then get a new guide at every stop I make at a big city. Bye Bye

Cenotes

HELLO UNDERWORLD!!!!!!!!!!! I am jumped into a cenote, which is a gateway to the MAYAN UNDERWORLD!!!!!!!! When I opened my eyes under the water, i see wierd mystical creatures. Some mystical creatures have four heads, and some don't have any legs, arms, or even a head. But they can talk. They tell me that the Underworld is a sacred place for all the Mayan. They took me to their leader, the evil leprechaun. He was sitting on a golden chair that was made of water. There were a lot of Mayan's around him worshiping him. There were a lot of golden building, small buildings, every where. There were also animals like squirrels on the other side of the Underworld. I have a picture of a cenote, and a video of me jumping into a cenote.


Blogging has caused me to synthesize and evaluate. I like the blogging because it helps us learn about other places, and it helps us do creative writing.

Nasca Lines

I went to the pampas and saw some weird lines. In a helicopter, the lines make shapes, like birds and spiders. There are some areas that have lines coming all leading to one place. I have to find out what they are for. And I know what they are now. The Nazca ate this cactus, that made them hallucinate and make them think they were flying. They saw what the little tiny creatures on the ground looked like, and what the birds looked like from overhead. Then, each person would tell others what the animal looked like from above, and they would get to work on making these perfectly straight lines, except the ones that curved. This is highly probably because people who ate this type of cactus, which was around back when the Nazca were, hallucinate that they were flying.

Peru

I went Cuzco before I took a bus to the ruins of Machu Piccu after taking a train to the base of the mountains. It was cool. It had mountains surrounding it. It had what looked like a broken down wall that was sort of still intact. There were a lot of steps. You can do an interactive view of it here.

Nicaragua

Hello Nicaragua. I just stopped in Managua, the capital. People in Nicaragua speak Spanish. I do not like Nicaragua. Some kid put something on my back that translates into "He hate me!" I did get food for.......... FREE!!!!!!! The food was good too. There was Carne Asada, Chicharrones, IndioViejo, and Vaho. We also had drinks such as Avena (which tasted like oatmeal), Caimito, and machua. I think some of those had alcohol. I passed out from too much food. GOOD BYE!

El Salvador

VIVA EL SALVADOR!!!! This song i heard as I got off the bus in San Salvador, El Salvador. I was looking forward to going to El Salvador at the beginning of my trip. I papusas for 3 meals per day when i was there. Good bye from El salvador.

Honduras

The capital of Honduras, Tugucigalpa, was a long train ride away from where i was staying in Belmopan. I got into Honduras at night, and took a helicopter above the city. This is what i saw:

People in Honduras eat wierd things such as baleadas. Those are like what burritos are to Mexicans. Check out what I did
