Crete


Hello!
I spent today in Crete--here are some pictures of the Palace of King Minos. I shall send more pictures later. It was very interesting. Here are some of my favorite facts: 1) As they cut the stones from a nearby mountain, they numbered each of the stones so they could match them back together 2) The walls on the first floor were so thick! The rooms were also extremely small--this was to help set the foundation for upper stories. The farther up the building--the thinner the wall, and the larger the room. I liked those facts.
I am currently on my way to EGYPT!!! I will be there in the morning. I will be away from the ship for 2 days and won't be able to communicate--but as soon as I can, you will hear from me--wait til I tell you what I saw!!!!!!!!!
Ask me some questions!

  2. Thank you! How great to hear from you--and yes, I DO feel like my Magic School Bus has become a reality!

    I am so excited about Jordan going to China. I hope she will be able to do a blog--it is such a great way to stay in touch.

    Have a great day!
