Most of the population of India practices Buddhism, and Hinduism, but there are small regions that ore Muslim, and Christian. They worship many gods, like Brahma and Shiva but the people don’t all celebrate the same gods.

            Indians have very unique clothing and jewelry. The women usually wear saris with ornate patterns. They also wear a variety of jewelry, spanning from ring-bracelets, jewelry crowns, nose rings attached to an erring and thick necklaces. Men usually wear the Dhoti as a type of pants, these can be worn in many colors, sometimes the men will wear shirts but they usually go shirtless.

             Another thing India is famous for is its street food, many people Indian street food is better than American street food. Some of the street foods include, Indian scrambled iggs , Grilled Tandoori chicken , Samosa, Masala Chai, Bad Pav, Pane Pure, and Pave Bhaji.

            These ore some of the things that India is known and famous for, and a country that is known all over the world.

            The Greeks usually sculpted the clay that they where using into vases, primarily and bowls, plates, and the like. They also did not make their pottery very thick so they where really easy to break so that is why we find pieces of pottery broken in Greece.

            The Greeks liked painted pottery, but did not have the colors that we do today, so they had to content themselves with red and black. Sometimes the pottery would have a light cream color because of the soil in that region but usually it was black on red or red on black.

            The Greeks used their pottery a lot because their homes where so simply furnished, so they used the vases as a pop of color in their houses.

             When people stray from God’s word, God sends his wrath upon them. He killed all the rebels that rallied against Moses with heavenly fire. When the Egyptians did not let the Israelites flee from Egypt he sent ten plagues, the first one was turning the Nile River into blood. The Egyptians still wouldn’t let them go, so God sent nine more plagues to wipe out the Egyptians and let the third one was lice, the fourth one was flies, the fifth one was livestock dying, the sixth one was Boils and Sores, the seventh was Locusts, the ninth was Darkness for three days, and the tenth the Death of the First Born in all Egypt.

            God would not let people who do not repent of their sins go to heaven because they have done wrong and did not repent of it. If the person has committed a crime against the ten commandments and do not apologize they will perish.

            God’s will is very powerful and if we follow him we will be less likely to be judged by him.

            The first step to getting ready for dance is putting my hair into a bun. The first thing you do is brush out your hair so it is tangle free. Then take a fine tooth comb, some water and slick your hair back into a pony tail. Next twist your pony tail into a bun shape and secure with U pins. Cover your bun with a hair net, and if you want put a scrunchie around the bun!

            The second step to getting ready for dance is putting on clothes. This differs from day to day but I will tell you my dress code for ballet. I wear a leotard and tights, ballet shoes with ribbons, and I can choose my earrings. My makeup pretty simple. I put on lavender scented tallow, brush out my eye brows and fill in the scar that I have on one of them. I apply blush, chap stick, and curl my lashes, then I am done!

            The third step to getting ready for dance is packing snacks. I need snacks because I need to stay nourished and and energized during dance. I usually eat these snacks in between classes, these are foods I like to pack: fruit rollups, bison bars, Yes bars, grapes, cheese, cashews, and sometimes cookies. Lastly, I always take water in my water bottle.

            When I get ready for dance I am super excited for shat is ahead of me, and that is dance!!

            Hatshepsut was born to Thutmose the first, and after he died Hatshepsut became Queen of Egypt when she was only twelve. Her husband was her half brother, Thutmose the second, and and bore only one child which was a girl. Her husband Thutmose had a son from anther wife and that son became king after Hatshepsut had died.

              Hatshepsut was a great architect and builder. She was famous for building the huge temple called Dier el Bahri in which the people would pray to their gods. Hatshepsut’s nephew decided to destroy her status to try to erase her from history, but records of the statues he didn’t destroy help us to figure out that the she was a female.

            Hatshepsut was a frivolous Queen and liked make up as many of the Egyptian Queens did. She also was depicted as a male pharaoh in hieroglyphics but the statues of her tell us that she was a female because of the softness in the face and the curves of her body.

             Queen Hatshepsut had a reign for almost twenty years and was remembered well in ancient Egyptian history as one of the most powerful female pharaohs.

            The first stop we made was Destin, Florida. In Destin there was a beach that we swam in for a while, then we had to keep driving to get to our Trusted House Sit in Sarasota. When we got there the dog that we were dog sitting was kind of weird because she didn’t know us yet. I mean we just barged into her home uninvited. The dog’s name was Mia and after a few days she warmed up to us. She started playing with us, and tried to sleep with us (which we wouldn’t let her do). We went to Lido beach a lot on our stay in Sarasota. The down side to Florida in general is there was a lot of mosquitos.

            The second stop we had was in Naples. We drove from Sarasota to Naples in three hours, got into our Air B & B and went out to eat.  We decide to go to this restaurant called ‘’Food and Thought’’. We drove there and it was so fancy. The bathrooms where nice there was a bar, and our meus were on tablets! All of their food was organic with no junk!

We could order anything we wanted! From burgers to dessert, everything was delicious. We were amazed by how good everything was that we came back like ten times! We hope that all restaurants aspire to the same food values that Food & Thought practice.

            We decided to go on out vacation because we wanted to get away from the house for a little while. Our plan was to go to Balomorrea state Park and get a room for the first night so we didn’t have to set op our campsite that night. The next day we would go to our camp site and set up our tent, and stay for two days. For the next two days we would go swimming in the spring pools that we came to enjoy.

            What actually happened while we were on our family vacation was a little different than planned. We arrived at our room the fist night and it was pretty nice. We went for a walk and fed a turtle strawberries. In the morning, we drove in our truck to the store because my Mom forgot the meat. It was so hot that our truck started leaking water and we were shocked. My dad poured water into the truck to cool it down, and we got to the store to get our meat. We got to our camp site,  set everything up, made some  breakfast, and finally finally.  We went swimming. I did all kinds of things at the pool, backflips off the diving board, snorkel, and just lie around and have lunch. We slept and did the same thing the next day except we cooked pancakes. We discovered that if we went in the shower with our clothes on, that helped us stay cool. The day that we left was a horrible. My poor mom tore some ligaments in her ankle, our truck was leaking water like crazy, and we almost hit an elk

             I would never do that trip again because we gad so many accidents dents, and it was tow hot The drive home was crazy in its own way because we had to keep stopping in order to keep the truck cool by pouring water in the radiator. That was family trip this year. I think that I could go there again just not with so many accidents.

            First of all, Africa is where Egypt is located.  The Egyptians were famous for beautiful art, hieroglyphics, pyramids, gold, jewelry metals and statues. they also did sacrificial rituals which I do not like, and buried their kings in big tombs. They also had animals which helped them with all the farming they did. Their farms were watered by the Nile River.

            Next, the Egyptians were especially famous for their pyramid tombs. Egyptians had a lot of gold that they buried with their mummified kings. When they buried their kings the pulled their vital organs out through their nose to deep the body more intact for mummification.             I love learning about the ancient Egyptian culture and history
