Get those sources out students! Blog me as fast as you can. I need to know how to help the villagers prepare. We have been to the castle, but many want to go home to check on their livestock. What should I tell them? Please work in your small groups and brainstorm ideas to propose plans for their self defense. You will need to use your creativity!

We grabbed our stuff, walked for about 2 minutes and were at his cabin where we also met Toby's cabin-mate Ola. Now this was luxury. Tania and I had a room. Danika had a room.

We stopped and disembarked at one particular waterfall and the train started blasting what sounded like Celtic New Age music.
