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

Tuesday 6/15 My Background is in Communications, This piece is a beautiful story selling a tough old American Brand. And I relate because at the beginning of Quarantine, I bought a pair of Work pants and hiking shoes and have worn them almost everyday.  They have stains, rips, a bleach spot, paint and my life displayed on them, and the story Jason tells is a beautiful. I didn't really know about Jason until I watched this. https://youtu.be/zL7SobTAnuQ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Momoa This sums up Quarantine in a profound way for me. He embraces life and family. Ohana. This movie is worth the time it takes to watch. American and authentic. You may like this one too.

"Do not grow old, no matter how long you live. Never cease to stand like the curious children before the great mystery into which we were born." -Albert Einstein SCIENCE Destination Moon : On Friday, the moon reaches its first quarter phase, allowing you to see the distinctly dark gray regions that are called maria, or seas. These are smooth plains of solidified lava formed when giant asteroids struck the moon billions of years ago. Can you spot the Sea of Tranquility, where Apollo 11 touched down ? Use binoculars and telescopes to sweep down the shadow line that divides the light and dark portions of the lunar disk. It’s along this line where the sun shines low on the rugged lunar terrain. Sweep down to the more southern part of the moon and take a peek at two giant craters lying side-by-side, just southwest of the Sea of Tranquility. The larger one, 93 miles wide, is Hipparchus, while the other is 81-mile-wide Albategnius. — Andrew Fazekas Beavers http...

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...

Grey with bright colors of spring flowers blooming, punctuating the browns and greens of spring. image available on Google Images. many options there for your Zoom Background Today began at 5:45 for us. As a family we usually go to a sunrise service at a local tree farm where my family lives. I can only remember a handful of years in my life that I haven't gone to this. So, because we couldn't be with my parents at home. We decided to do our own sunrise service at a beach we can walk to from our house. We tested FaceTime outside with my parents the day before while I was working in the garden, continuing to plant as I feel we need the food security of seeds pushing up through dirt in containers and in the ground we have available to us. Sunrise service went well, and gave me something new to cherish with my parents.  sunrise service picking daffodils as the sun hits the first places on our local turning earth Annabelle our Easte...

Wednesday 5/13 ''When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping..'

Wednesday 5/20 The Buddha said, “Better to live one day seeing the rise and fall of things than to live a hundred years without ever seeing the rise and fall of things.” https://www.americamagazine.org/faith/2018/02/22/how-buddha-became-popular-christian-saint MUSIC Boston Symphony Orchestra, home school among these,  Berlioz -  Roman Carnival Overture many to watch on you tube.  https://www.bso.org/brands/bso/at-home/bso-homeschool/bso-homeschool-lessons-week-7.aspx Every instrument, from the piano to the guitar to the  erhu  sounds different. 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/...
