A Visit To South Africa

Edward also shared his family vacation with classmates. Here is what Edward had to say:

“On my vacation my family and I went to South Africa. In South Africa we went to a Cheetah Rescue place where people help raise cheetahs and other animals. I got to pet a real live cheetah! We also visited the Owl Park where I got to hold an eagle owl. I was surprised to feel how soft the owl’s feathers were to the touch. It felt like putting your hand through a cloud. I had a great time visiting the animals.”

A Trip To Zanzibar

IST was just on Spring Break. Some students got a chance to visit family and friends at various destination around the world. Other students stayed closer to home visiting various parts of Tanzania. Here Lucca shares his visit to Zanzibar with the class.

On my vacation I went to Zanzibar with my dad and my brother. We did lots of fun and exciting things. One thing we did was visit the reptile zoo. At the zoo we saw chameleons, tortoise, sand snakes, green snakes and even a green mamba! We also saw a cobra – it was a little scary.

On Zanzibar, we also went on a spice tour. On the spice tour we learned how pepper grows. It is green on the vine and when dried it turns black. If you peel it, inside it is white. This is called white pepper. We saw pickle fruit, limes, cinnamon (the bark from a tree) and vanilla pods. Our guide made my brother and I cool eyeglasses out of pineapple leaves. We had a lot of fun.
