Around the World in Z to A ... W-Day!

Hola my wonderful and wiggly friends,

This is Bart - your fearless Traveling Blogger. Today I am on a new adventure in Santiago, Chile, which is located on the Western side of South America. Check out this Map Link.

Chile is not named after the popular American food that has meat and beans, just in case you were wondering. It is actually a Spanish word and Chile is pronounced “chill-ay”. Everybody here speaks Spanish. It’s a good thing I know a few Spanish words, but I do need to practice some new words. Do you know of any that I might be able to use in my travels?

I was at the city mercado today looking for some different fruta, like naranjas and manzanas. Here’s a vivid picture of one of the market vendors: Picture. What do you think of all the colors? The Chileans love to put color in their threads. Did you get the package I sent Mrs. J.? What do you think of it?

I am off to find a very secretive little four-legged creature called a Southern Pudu. They prefer living in thick, wet jungle-like habitat. Little is known about the pudu. They like to hide from humans, but I am feeling lucky today. I think I may see one. I’ll let you know in my next blog.

Tomorrow I am off to another county in South America. Can you guess which one it is? You already have a clue!

Until then, make sure you post a Blog from your classroom and I’ll sign on and read it as soon as I can!

Your Traveling Amigo,

Bart
