Did you...Did you see any house cats at Machu Pichu? Did you know that cats don't breath very well at high altitudes? Do chinchillas need to live at high altitudes in order to breathe well? <br /><br />Jaime, I am impressed by your Machu Pichu drawing. My eye is specifically drawn to your sun. Have you have seen that style of sun drawn or painted recently and adopted that style as your own? I am curious how the sun will be represented in folk art in some of the other places you visit. Would you keep your eyes peeled for me, and draw what you notice about suns in art in other places? <br /><br />I have done a lot of study about art that kids create. There is a universal symbol that kids in most cultures draw when they feel happy. Do you know what that symbol is? <br /><br />I can't wait to see your next blogs!

I would like to be your friend!<br /><br />Jaguars are my favorite animals, and I would like to keep them safe. Maybe we could work together on helping them. ??? <br /><br />About me - I am 10 years old, in 6th grade, and I attend a Montessori school. I have two dogs, three cats, a guinea pig, and one chicken. We had 5 chickens and a bunny, but they died this summer because of extreme heat in Arizona, where we live. <br /><br />My mom and I are planning on setting up a blog spot for me, so I can talk to other kids about climate change and helping animals. My mom isn't sure yet how to take and post videos, but she will figure it out really soon, and she will send your dad a link to my blog spot. That way you can see what I look like, and we can talk more, and share what we have in common. <br /><br />I am looking forward to talking to you and sharing with you, and hopefully meeting you someday soon. <br /><3 Anna Rose <3<br />one more thing my mother will send your dad a picture of me talk to you later bye <3Kathy Mohr-Almeida, Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03327082528004646238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3696747148658108549.post-89072296987568484262013-09-19T21:59:10.841-07:002013-09-19T21:59:10.841-07:00Hey guys! I love seeing you help out sea turtles!!...Hey guys! I love seeing you help out sea turtles!!<br /><br />There is a community in Oaxaca, Mexico, called Mazunte, which is a nesting ground for sea turtles. The people of Mazunte used to make a living by killing sea turtles to "harvest" their shells. The people would make combs and other items from the shells. Eventually they began to run out of turtles, and many people didn't like killing these gentle creatures. <br />A smart lady visited the community and saw that the industry of items made from turtle shells was not sustainable, and that the community members could actually feed their families better if the community agreed to change the base of their local economy to ecotourism. Ecotourism is what people do when they make a special trip somewhere to see unique plants and animals that are native to that place. The community embraced this proposal, and is now thriving by helping conserve the turtles! <br />This same smart lady also set up a small beauty product factory (a very, very small factory)which produces organic lotions from locally harvested plants. This minor industry also helps the community members keep food on the table. <br />Talk about a win-win situation!<br />Thank you for sharing your experience with the turtles - they are so amazing and graceful (in the water!).
