Time for another celebration...what should we do?
Join us for a live chat from the Amazon today, Friday, April 11, from 1-2 pm CST. Please log-in as a class using the Chat Room link under Teacher Resources. See you there!
We are quickly approaching the border region of Colombia, Peru, and Brazil. On Monday, we should cross into Brazil, where we will spend the rest of our time during the adventure. None of us have ever crossed an international border in a canoe, and we're pretty excited about it. We think this probably requires another celebration of some sort. What do you think we should do? The border cities of of Santa Rosa, Peru, Tabatinga, Brazil, and Leticia, Colombia are pretty big, so we will have access to more conveniences than normal. Put your heads together to come up with a party plan.

Dave, Frosty and Warren hang out with some local kids while taking a break from the paddling around 1:00. Thanks for the tip!

Catch some fish and cook it, have dinner together, invite people from the village to help celebrate, invite them to bring a dish to pass (a potluck!) and enjoy time together!Take an evening swim and don't forget to take pictures!

You should celebrate by having food that you havn't had in a long time and invite the some of the people who you meet or helped you.

We think that you should go to a restaurant to taste something new - something instead of fish, lentils, and bananas. If you can afford it, you should stay in a hotel so you can relax and sleep in a bed. Maybe you can meet some people to go out and have fun with.

I think that you should take an empty water bottle and fill it with the water at the International Border and bring it back for the display at Shedd Aquarium.
If you can not bring back water, because of customs regulations, perhaps pick up a pebble or stone from the area and bring it back. You could shout out "Hello from America" as you cross the border, maybe you'll hear an echo! You are making history!

I think that you guys should do more dancing and go exploring in the forest and river. And see what you find! Good luck!

I think maybe you should try to find a cool restraunt and try some of the interesting foods there that we don't have back here in the united states. Then come back and tell us all about it!

I think you should take a look at the stars. They must be beautiful over there. Also, dancing under them would be a great expirience I think!☺!

We think that you should have some food and invite some people from the town and have a party with them. And maybe they could bring one of thier traditional plate.

We think that you should sit by a fire listen to music and eat a traditional american dish.

Ask the villagers to come and celebrate with you and take some pictures.

You should try to do something new in each country before you leave. Also you could have a small celebration of dinner and dancing with any new friends you have met.

We think you should have a dance party in a small village. You might even learn about some different dances they do in the Amazon. Therefore you can still have fun and learn at the same time.

How about making chocolate covered bananas! Vance and John

I think that when you cross the border syou should do something there that you have never dine before and that sounds interesting
well i hope you have fun with your party
Posted by: Esther | April 11, 2008 2:59 PM
We think you should get yourselves a souvenir from each of the countries. You could jump into the water at the crossing point. When you meet the children, play some soccer with them. Katie, Sammy, Addie and Emma
HAVE FUN! Watch out for pirates!

I think that you guys should have a party if you can. Or go somewhere and try some interesting food. Another thing you could do is find a quiet place and just talk, relax, and party! Have fun and tell us what you do.
