July 16th Farm and river

When we were told that we were going in a trip to a farm, I really expected a very different kind of farm. In Colombia farms are very different. The farm here had a very advanced technology but in my opinion the place where the cows live is not clean and cows live in a very small place, they had no sapce. It was surprising all the machines they had for producing the milk, that surprised me. It was nice to see different types of farms depending the cultures and the places you live. The trip to the river was just fantastic. The river was awsome the water was clean and I had fun with my friends. It was my first time in a river like that.

Colombia is a country located in the ecuator. For this Colombia has different weathers and kinds of lands. There are different crops depending the region. In te andean or central region, where Bogota is located the main crops are of potatoes and yuca. Near bogota there is a region called "Eje Cafeterp" there are the main crops of the famous colombian coffee. At the caribbean region you can find different crops of fruit, banana, strawberry, watermelon, and many more.

July 9 . The COTS shelter and Burligton's scavenger hunt

Yesterday we made a trip to Burlington´s downtown, there we went to the church street,where we made some challenges. We have to found some places like, the book store, the world map, chocolate store. Also we had to find some things like a shirt with the number 802, a street artist. It was a really amazing trip because we knew in few minutes many things about Burlington, that we might not know if we had not taken this class. It was a really good experience.
The COTS shelter was the most exciting part of the trip in my opinion because I had always felt very related to this kind of things in my country. It was really amazed of how the homeless people life because it was a very beautiful an clean place. It has not comparison of how this kind of places are in Colombia. I think this is the kind of things that people who don't  have a good economical situation deserve. It was a really nice experience for me this trip.

July 4yh

Hi!! Yesterday we went to champlain lake for seeing the celebration of the forth of July ( USA independece day). It was an amazing event, when we arrived there, we saw a lot of people from diferent countries and cultures. The environment was amazing. When the fireworks started i felt amazed beacuse those fireworks were very cool. I have never seen a celebration of an independence day in Colombia like the one of yesterdary. In Colombia we celebrate it in a different way, we just take some flags of our country and put them on the windows, it feels as a normal day.
