Brazil

Howdy Yall!! This was our 11th race for the Amazing Race!! We traveled to Brazil, and it was absolutely marvelous!! We got to see the Amazon Rainforest, the largest rainforest in the world. Did you know 60% of the rainforest is in Brazil? We got to play a game of soccer, which is one of Brazil's biggest sports. We also saw the largest statue in Brazil, which is called Christ the Redeemer. It is very beautiful!! There was a very unique hotel we had to find, which is called the Hotel Unique. What makes this hotel so unique is that it is shaped like Noah's ark. This was a very short race, and we finished with a good time and tied for second. We can't wait for the next race!!

It's stunning!!

Chile, South America

Howdy Yall!! This was our 9th race for the Amazing Race!! We traveled to Chile, South America. It was absolutely beautiful!! For one of our activites, one of us had to eat dish called "Pebre" a famous food invented in Chile. Poor Clydesdale Christie had to eat this, and she hated it!! It's pungnent smell would turn off any person who would dare to try it. She eventually finished it, and then we carried on to our next activity. We also got to see the world's largest pool built at the hotel San Alfonso del Mar Resort. It was amazing!! It took five years to build this pool, and it is the same temperature of the ocean. We also had to play tennis, which is a very well known sport in Chile. We finished with a time of 11:33, and finished 4th overall. We hope to stay in the top four!!

Rabat, Morocco

Howdy Yall!! This was our 8th race for the Amazing Race!! We traveled to Rabat, Morocco. It was beautiful!! We had to build a sandcastle and search for a seashell inside the sand. Did you know that the most common name in the world is Mohammed? Near the end of the game, we were leading, and we yielded The Puckheads. However, even though we were the first ones on the 10th activity, which was the pitstop, we did not finished first. It was a little disappointing, but we still placed well. We had to find a hotel that was refered to as "Earth." It is called the Kasbah Tamadot. It was very unique, since all the rooms inside it were shaped as octagons, and it was absolutely beautiful!! We are looking forward to our next race on Thursday!!

is located.
Isn't it beautiful?





Nairobi, Kenya

Howdy Yall!! This was our 8th race for the Amazing Race!! We traveled to Nairobi, Kenya, which is the capital city of Kenya. It was amazing!! We got to take pictures of animals on a safari, but in order to receive our next clue, we had to reach the campsite before sundown. Clydesdale Christie had to run 5 laps, which was very tiring for her! However this is only a small run for a 6-year old Kenyan! Did you know that the Kipchoge Keino High Performance Training Camp is currently training over 100 athletes for the next summer Olympics? That is a lot of athletes! We finished with a time of 23 minutes, and tied with Team Dance Pants for first. This was a very quick and tiring race, but we both think it was one of the best!!
