My Saturday

On Saturday morning I went to a pancake breakfast with my dad and my brother. It was in the basement of a nearby church. I had one  plain pancake with whipped cream. It was delicious, but not as good as my dad’s chocolate and banana pancakes. While I was there i saw Carrie, David, Dylan, Evan, Happy, Mr. Parintozie and Marty.
We took Evan back to our house to pick up Andrew who was waiting at our home. From there we drove to fencing to drop Max off. From there we continued to the aquarium.


As soon as we got there, we went into the membership line and I got a penguin stamp on the back of my left hand. From there we went to the stingray and shark touch tank. The sharks were all in the back corner where  nobody could get to touch them. The stingrays were everywhere  and they felt soft, fatty and smooth.
After a little bit of that we went down a staircase to the jellyfish. We saw a jellyfish so small that you can only really see it clearly with a magnifying glass. The jellyfish were before the crustaceans and survived all the mass extinctions.


Then after that we went up the stairs and across the entrance then to the penguin tank. Andrew asked the lady in the tank why the penguins had a bracelet on their wings. She answered that the ones with them on the right were girls and also tell its name.
We went to the bridge to get to the big tank and from there around and around to the very top. Once there we stood next to the man feeding the turtle lettuce. Andrew asked the man “how old is that turtle”.
“about 80 or 90 years old”. some other questions we had were:
“ what are those blocks you're feeding her” or “what is that thing in the food box and the answers were:
“there blocks of seaweed and small plankton” and “that is some squid with vitamins inside”.

Seeing the Chateaus of France.

Image
We woke up in our hotel room in Tours and went downstairs for breakfast. A man named Pascal and his partner ran the hotel and Pascal were serving breakfast. He was very nice and served us incredible hot chocolate, croissants, baguette, Nutella, and jam. We ate quickly then got in a cab to the Tourist Office in Tours. From the Tourist Office, we took the van to start our tour of the Chateaus of France. This is Clos Luce, the Chateau where Leonardo da Vinci died. It has many of his incredible inventions inside of it. This was his workshop where he started his paintings, sketches, and designs for his inventions. This is a lifesize model of his most famous painting "the Mona Lisa". The is Chateau Chenonceau, considered the most beautiful Chateaus in all of France.

Solar Powered

Image
In our house, we recently installed solar panels to reduce our carbon emissions and also save about 45% of our annual costs for our house’s electricity. My Dad wrote a few questions for me to answer that would attempt to persuade much more people to add solar panels to their own houses, and also to try and persuade others to add them to their own houses. Why does solar work for our house? Solar works for our house because we have multiple roof areas mostly south facing that have sufficient sunlight to make a good amount of electricity to be worth the money that they cost. What is the design? There are 19 panels on the one side of the roof and 5 on the other side of the roof above Mom, and Dad’s bedroom How much does it cost? It costs $20,000  when they are installed, but nothing every year afterward. How much electricity will it produce? Our solar panels will produce about 5946 kWh every year for 25 years. What other financial benefits? We will save ...

Day #1 in London

Image
My grandmother and I arrived at Heathrow in London at about 10:30 AM local time, and we were extremely tired. I had only got about an hour or two of sleep on the plane over the Atlantic ocean. We walked to the taxi area and got into a cab. The UK taxis are black and look old, on the inside, there is quite a large space, and three seats along the back of the car. There is no trunk in the UK taxis so we had lots of extra space inside the taxi. Even with the taxis old look, it had an intercom for talking to the driver and also an AC and window button. When we arrived at our hotel we put our bags down and immediately took a two-hour long nap before leaving for lunch. We ate lunch at the ale and pie restaurant below our hotel. I ordered an incredible beef burger, and Baba ordered a steak and blue cheese pie. After lunch, we walked about five minutes to big ben. The Big Ben This is a picture of the London eye. We decided to go on the London eye on our last day in ...
