America’s love of cars and being on the open road has led to the creation of the modern travel or camping trailer. Some trailers are so well equipped that people can comfortably live in them full-time.
With a good trailer in tow, you can take some of the comforts of home along with you on your next road trip, or to one of the many beautiful camping destinations across the country.
During the 4th century AD, the royal city of Alexandria where Cleopatra, the last queen of ancient Egypt ruled was covered by water due to a series of earthquakes and tidal waves. For 20 centuries a large part of this city was lost in the east harbor of Alexandria. It wasn’t until 1996 when the ancient city began to be uncovered.
Successful accomplishments come in all shapes and sizes. Take the gigantic feat of the mysterious Coral Castle in Florida for example. Weighing in at 100 pounds and only standing at 5 feet tall, Ed Leedskalnin began building massive structures out of coral in 1920. Heartbroken that his true love had left him, Ed decided that he was going to build a castle out of coral and dedicate it to her.
One night, while sitting around the dinner table, finishing a delicious meal of lasagna, Julie’s father told the family he had an announcement to make. Excitedly, he proclaimed, “this Thanksgiving, we’re going to take a trip to Thailand!”
As Julie’s mother and father beamed with excitement, groans from Julie and her brother Sam emerged. “What about the turkey and pies and cranberry sauce?” “We’re going to miss our traditional family meal!” “What about turkey sandwiches and turkey soup for leftovers?”
Do you have a favorite holiday? Perhaps Thanksgiving, which is right around the corner, is your favorite, or maybe Halloween or perhaps even New Year’s Day? Did you know that in Thailand, they celebrate New Year’s Day in April?
Thai people call the beginning of their New Year Songkran which means “a move or change in the position of the sun from Aries to Taurus.” This position of the sun falls in mid April every year sometime between April 10 and April 18. As we make New Year’s resolutions on our New Year’s Day as a sort of cleansing, the Thai also cleanse for their New Year. And boy, do they cleanse!
Close your eyes and imagine you’re resting in a field of beautiful wildflowers. It’s around noon and the heat of the sun is warming your body while a gentle breeze brushes softly against your face while making a slight whistling sound as it passes through the flowers and grass. In the background you can hear the sounds of flowing water from nearby waterfalls and the pleasant chirping of birds who are perched in the giant trees that surround the field.
The dogs had leapt out in a burst of energy this morning. Frisky after the long winter, my huskies were just as glad to be flexing their muscles as I was. The team eventually settled into a comfortable pace and pulled the sled smoothly over the ice. The sun’s reflection seemed to course just ahead of us and the brisk air ruffled the fur on my parka.
My name is Inatuk. Up here, in the Canadian Arctic, spring breaks through the winter darkness and finally blesses us with longer days. March and April are the months we hunt for seals. We wait patiently by holes in the ice where the seals come up for air. That may seem boring, but all of us are just plain glad to be outside again. The dogs are anxious because they, like us, have not had fresh meat for several months.
During the last 45 years, children and adults from all over the world have come to ride on the exciting attractions and to enjoy the atmosphere at Disneyland® Park in Anaheim, California. Disneyland® Park first opened its doors to the public back in 1955.
The park is divided into several different areas including Adventureland, New Orleans Square, Fantasyland, and Tommorowland…just to name a few. Tommorowland transports people and gives them a glimpse of the future with exciting attractions and futuristic scenery.
Have you ever heard a strange sound behind you but when you turned to look nobody was there? Have you ever looked into the night sky and thought you saw an unidentified flying object? Have you ever heard or seen anything else that did not have a logical explanation?
For centuries, people from all over the world have noticed strange things that they could not explain. People have claimed to see ghosts and UFO’s. Some people have even claimed that they have spoken to aliens from other planets. Others claim that they have seen monsters in mountains and lakes.
On December 3, 1999 history was made when Tori Murden rowed across the Atlantic Ocean alone. Though she wasn’t the first person to ever accomplish this feat, she was the first American and the first woman to ever do this.
Her journey began in the middle of September when she left the Canary Islands which are off the northwest coast of Africa. She was making very good time when she encountered some bad weather. This bad weather came in the form of a hurricane named Lenny. Hurricane Lenny presented Tori with 20-foot waves and turned over her 23-foot boat named the American Pearl. Tori was thrown into the ocean, but was able to save herself and get back into her rowboat. The hurricane pushed her back 10 miles, but she didn’t let that stop her. Her determination to finish what she had started was too strong.
Check this out! Have you ever entered a contest? And if so, have you ever won the contest? Here’s one contest that a man entered and won, making his name one of the most well known throughout the world. In 1886 the World Fair committee announced a contest for a design of a tower which would be built for the World’s Exhibition in 1889. Over 100 designs were submitted, but the winner was Gustave Eiffel. Does that name sound familiar to you?
The mysterious Stonehenge, located in Amesbury, Wiltshire, in Southern England, is linked to astrology and the solstices. However, it is not truly known why it was built. The actual structure appears as many big stones that form an open-ended circle, and it is believed to have begun construction in 2800 BC and revised and re-modelled over a period of more than 2000 years.
