Tuesday.
3/19
Get out, be brave, and explore the world.” – Mario Rigby, Adventure Explorer




Field Trip

Travel Tips from an Adventurer who walked 7,456 miles across Africa. How long would that take if you walked 10 miles /day?
If you walked 20 Miles per day?
Would it be longer if you ran into a wild animal or had to cross a river? With Rapids?
How about if you had to walk through the desert?

This site gives comprehensive coverage of Rigby's journey North across Africa. An amazing undertaking and shows what one person can do when they are willing to try and complete a journey. What the journey brings to their life and inspiration for others.
Mario Rigby, became obsessed with the idea of seeing what he calls “the reality of the world.” 
Feeling emboldened, Rigby dubbed his human-powered expedition Crossing Africa; set up a website and accounts on YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter; and raised more than $14,000 in a GoFundMe campaign. His solo trek began on November 24, 2015, his birthday. “The gift of freedom was the best gift I’ve ever given myself,” he says.
Two years, three months, and 7,456 miles later, Rigby had traversed eight countries, including South Africa, Egypt, Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Sudan. Although he had set a budget of $3 to $5 a day (and picked up a sponsorship from Western Union toward the end), he was often taken in by kind and curious strangers, who supplied him with food, water, shelter, and friendship.

His next trip, The goal of the Electric Vehicle Africa project, which kicks off in November, is to promote the use of renewable and sustainable energy throughout the continent.



See the Great Pyramids of Egypt
Enshrined in history and popular culture (never forget the opening scene of Despicable Me), the Egyptian Pyramids have been standing resolutely for thousands of years. The stark contrast of the Pyramids looming over the bustling megalopolis of Cairo is a sight in and of itself, but pales in comparison to standing up close and personal to one of the world’s most famous and mysterious landmarks. Before you go, check out our guide to visiting Cairo. -- Tanner Saunders

ISRAEL
Traverse the Old City of Jerusalem

Three major world religions converge in the winding narrow passageways of the Old City, full of sites of deep importance to Jews, Muslims, and Christians, including the Western Wall and the Dome of the Rock. Taste local spices or indulge in a bowl of hand-crushed hummus before climbing to the edges of the fortified stone walls. There you’ll see how 3.7 billion people have come to claim Israel as their spiritual home. -- Emily Zemler

Each has a different tonal colour, or “timbre”, which gives them their own unique characteristic sound. This is how we can naturally tell them apart when listening to music. As you develop as a singer, it is important to listen more analytically to the timbres, and therefore the pitches of different instruments, and how to tune your voice to each of them. https://www.musical-u.com/learn/...

Tuesday Perspective on this time from a New York Times Journalist ….”Whiplash. Going cold turkey. Zero to 60 except reversed. I have relied on a host of metaphors to think about my transition from perpetual motion to stillness, my world the size of a city block in many ways. It feels trivial to bemoan a temporary end to travel, but there’s more at stake than joy rides to a distant beach. We risk losing the connections we have spent centuries building with the world around us. With airplane fleets grounded and hotels shuttered, when travel resumes, there is no doubt it will look different.” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/13/travel/missives-from-my-locked-down-friends-from-siberia-to-samarkand.html?campaign_id=24&emc=edit_tl_20200418&instance_id=17756&nl=travel-dispatch&regi_id=67240182&segment_id=25461&te=1&user_id=c54a3d3ff457b80d10f0624ed5bccb9d This link of interest below for negotiating in any situation, with kids especially.

Thursday. 6/18 Friday 6/19 Rais’d are the dripping oars— Silent the boat: the lake, Lovely and soft as a dream, Swims in the sheen of the moon. –Matthew Arnold (1822–88) https://www.almanac.com/content/two-fishermen-who-rowed-europe# HISTORY Here’s the true story of two oyster dredgers from New Jersey, George Harbo and Frank Samuelson, who voyaged in a tiny open rowboat across the Atlantic.  Legend says that early in 1896, wealthy Police Gazette publisher Richard Fox offered a $10,000 prize to anyone who could cross the ocean without sails or steam. No contemporary accounts confirm this reward, but there is no doubt that Harbo, 30, and Samuelsen, 26, who dredged oysters and clams off the New Jersey coast for a living, were the first to row across the Atlantic, setting a speed record that stood for 114 years.  Of medium stature, both men had spent their lives at sea and were lean and muscular. Both were Norwegi...
