Montessori in Real Life. A blog about parenting, Montessori education and how they intersect in real life. Tuesday, April 6, 2010. Down on the Farm. We are the proud owners of an ant farm. Booster received one for her birthday way back last summer. It took me awhile to reconcile myself to keeping ants, which under other circumstances we would seek to kill if they were in the house. By the time I got organized enough to order the ants, it was way too cold for the company to ship them. This post is written...

http://travel-bug-blog.blogspot.com/2009/10/avoiding-cliched-vegas-quote-here.html

So I found this fun new map feature on some website (see right), though when I filled it out I was really dismayed to find out that, despite the fact that I call myself a travel-bug, I have only visited 8% of the world's countries.

First stop was Tuyen Lam Lake, a madmade lake outside of Dalat surrounded by pine forests. It's a beautiful setting for what else than elephant riding! What about the chicken village? It was the highpoint of my Easy Rider experience :). Have fun in Hoi An and eat lots and lots of Cao lầu for me! I'm a DC area n...
