Casablanca February 22


 On February 21 we left Tanger on a bullet train to Casablanca. The train ride was nice because it was surprisingly smooth for going 308 km/h, some bullet trains can go up to 400 km/h. When we arrived we checked into the hotel and planned our next day. 

My mom and I decided to go to the Arab league park but when we got into the taxi the driver said you should go to the ANFA park because it's better for kids and it's newer. We took his suggestion and he drove us there. 

When we arrived we wandered and saw a large  play structure  and I played on it for a long time.  I met a boy named Adam and I played tag with him for 2 hours. It was fun to play with someone my own age because I have been with my parents for 3 weeks straight. Adam was able to speak English, French, Arabic and German which I thought was cool ! 

The playground was amazing because it had lots of ropes and one large slide. The slide was made from barrels that were welded together. The ropes were attached to trees that you are able to walk across. We went to another area that had large rubber mounds with slides that went down. Through  the mounds there were tunnels that you could crawl through.

Even though I didn’t see many historical sites in Casablanca it was nice to change our plan and still enjoy the day.

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
