My Birthday in Agadir February 12 2023

 



  On Sunday it was my birthday and I got to go to the crocodile park just outside of Agadir. When we arrived we couldn't believe how many crocodiles they had. 

While we were at the park we learned a lot of facts about crocodiles. Did you know to find out the gender of the baby croc before it's born you need to measure the temperature of the egg. If the temperature is 32' c or higher it's a male but if it's 30’ c or lower it's a female.  Another fact is crocodiles open their mouths to regulate their body temperature. After laying in the sun all morning the crocodiles started moving around and swimming in the water.  

Also in the park they had a lot of different animals like monkeys, pythons, turtles and iguanas. The monkeys and pythons were in an enclosure whereas the lizards and iguanas moved freely around the cactus garden. For the lizards/iguanas that are less than one year old they stay in a cage so they don't get eaten. Also in the garden there's multiple massive turtles walking around.

Before dinner we went for a walk on the beach and my mom and I got our shoes soaking wet. There were some locals playing soccer too. After dinner at the marine restaurant all of the waiters sang happy birthday to me and gave me a small cake with a giant sparkle that lit up the entire restaurant. Also my dads currency conversion wasn't very good. He left the waiter $60 instead of $6, Moroccan dirhams are 10-1 not 100-1.

Snorkeling in Thailand

Image
  Thailand is an amazing place to snorkel and scuba dive. A few days ago my mom and I went snorkeling while my dad went scuba diving. We went to Koh Haa to see coral and sea creatures.  The boat ride was 2 hours from Ko Lanta. On the boat we had breakfast, snacks, lunch and dessert. There were lots of different drinks to choose from. Once we got to Koh Haa  we had to put on our flipres, googles, snorkel and life jacket. Since my dad was scuba diving he had to put on a lot more gear. Kob Haa consists of 5 islands that have very clear water. For the day we went to 3 of the islands to snorkel. Close to the islands, there are a lot of colorful fish and coral. Getting back to the boat after our snorkel was tough sometimes depending on the current.   With a strong ocean current, my mom and I tried to swim back to the boat but we would take 10 strokes forward and get pulled back 5 strokes.   The boat had to come to us because we couldn't swim back. While we were snorkeling we saw many coo

Temples in Cambodia

  Did you know that Siem Reap Cambodia has 91 temples. Angkor Wat is the largest Temple in the world. The Buddhist and Hindu temples represent places of worship. Most were built from the 9th to 14th century. I loved exploring these wonderful works of art. Angkor Wat is also the largest religious monument on earth. It took 5 million tons of sandstone to build and they had to use 6000 elephants to transport the stone from 50 km away. It is almost 900 years old but has been refurbished. The entrance to the temple is very large and the first thing you see are thousands of detailed hand done carvings. At the top of the temple you could see the whole property of Angkor Wat. After the Angkor Wat we went to the Bayon Temple. It was fascinating because there are 54 pillars. Each pillar has  4 faces, looking north, south, east and west. The Bayon Temple is very open and symmetrical. It has beams holding up the walls due to years of erosion. The temple is in the shape of a pyramid and there are m
