Morocco!

May 19,2011

< This is the flag of Morocco.

In this race we had to go outside for two of the challenges. The first outdoor challenge was making sandcastles, which was rather easy. The second challenge was not so easy. we had to dig for buried treasure in the sand-With our Hands. Under normal circumstances this would have been fun, but when your in a rush, it's not quite so fun. But in the end we did find our "treasure." The treasure was chocolate :).

Kenya Race

Tuesday, May 10, 2011
Todays amazing race was to Kenya.We didn't finish this race. A big factor was that we got really frusterated with one of the games because we couldn't finish it. We learned about zorbing-a sport in New Zealand. Zorbing is the Olympic Symbol for a town in Russia. We also had to do 5 laps of running around the school yard. This was to show how much running the 6 year olds in Kenya had to endure. We also learned the 5 animals that make up the "big 5." The animals were: The white rhino, the elephant, the lion, the cape buffalo and the leopard.

New Zealand Race

May 2nd, 2011 1:45pm. 

Today we stated in China then went to New Zealand. Did you know that dog meat was banned during the 2008 Summer Olympics? There was a fast-forward in this race, but no one won it. The task was to eat fortune cookies and try to find the ''fast forward'' fortune. We also had a ''Chance'' in this race. We had to roll a dice to determine our fate. We got lucky and had twelve hours taken off our total hours. We think that someone dropped the fortune. Gordon also learned about the

Vanuatu land diving. We ended the race in 8th place.
