Salisbury

My family and I lived in a town called Salisbury from when I was a baby to when I was four years old. Some of our friends live there. They are the boy that I rode 4 miles with, (In Bike Riding) his sister and parents. We visited them a few months ago. I wrote about the visit in Glad to be Back. There is a big mountain next to their house that we climbed. There is also another mountain a bit further away that we had a picnic on every Saturday when we lived there. There were also snakes, and farmers grew pomegranates, peanuts and millet. The Three tribes that live in Salisbury are the Moors, Fulani and Soninke. The tribe that lived in our neighborhood was the Fulani. The pictures below were taken in Salisbury.

    Oh Yan... I love this post!! I love it because I have been there and I can imagine everything you have written. I was in Salisbury with Grampie, Uncle Jacob, and Aunt Abigail when Lily was 2 years old. We climbed one of those mountains and took pictures there. It must be so hard to ride bikes in the sand. I have never done that. Pomegranates are very expensive in the United States of America. I think one pomegranate in Virginia costs about $2.00. Thanks for your posts. I really enjoy them! Love, Grandma

Galapagos Adventure, Introduction

Peter was going on a trip to the Galapagos islands (a group of islands about 2,600 miles away from America, famous for having many animals on it that only live there, such as the Galapagos tortoise and the Marine iguana). One night, he woke up in the midde of a storm, with his boat sinking! The boat didn't have any lifeboats, so Peter grabbed a gun, bullets, gunpowder and a bag of corn, threw a barrel overboard, dived in after it, and swam to one of the Galapagos islands that was nearby, resting on the barrel when he was tired. Unluckily, it was uninhabited (nobody lived on it), but he at least survived the storm. Two and a half years later, he lived in a large cave, had a pet Galapagos hawk (a large, brown hawk breed. The main predator of the Galapagos islands) called Flyer and owned a large cornfield. Galapagos Hawk

Going Sailing

Last holiday my family & I went sailing. First we got on a small boat, and then sailed to a bigger one, which we sailed on for about an hour. I got a weird feeling that I sometimes get on airplanes when the boat went over the waves. I hope we go again sometime!
