Greetings Really Rambunctious and Roaring Lions,
This is Bart - your railway-riding Traveling Blogger. I am chugging my way through some of the most beautiful habitat I have ever seen. Today I am in Russia. I am seeing much of this wonderful countryside through the glass of my train compartment window! Here are some pictures of the Russian Railroad also called the Trans-Siberian Express.
Russia is so big! It is the largest country in the world. I am in the part named Siberia. The name Siberia means “sleeping land.” Check out the Map Link. It is 26 degrees today and snow is predicted! Burrrrr. Cold!
The Russian language is very difficult to learn. They write their alphabet with different symbols and each symbol has a unique sound. Listen to the way the Russian language is spoken: Russian. Can you repeat some of the words? Even if you get it wrong it is still a lot of fun.
Siberia is rich in animal life. Among its more common mammals are foxes, otters, wolves, hare, moose, reindeer, polar and brown bears, seals, walruses, and Siberian tigers. So far I have not seen any from my train, but I am going hiking later today and I hope to see some wild animals!
I enjoyed seeing your “Life is Good with Mrs. J” poster. The Swiss Family Robinson is one of my favorite books. I was also impressed that you figured out how many days had passed since the volcano erupted.
I am looking forward to hearing about your R day. Post a Blog and I’ll read it as soon as I can.
Your Responsible & Sometimes Rowdy Comrade,
Bart
