Above: Me with elementary school students from Colegio Jorge Washington
Yesterday I was lucky enough to visit Colegio Jorge Washington here in Cartagena. I spoke to four different classes (both elementary and high school level) about planning a big idea and seeing it through to fruition, the importance of cultural tolerance, and the inherent goodness in people. It was inspiring seeing the kids so excited about my ride. Two of the classes wrote me letters and cards wishing me luck on my trip and thanking me for speaking. A few of the older students came up to me after one of the classes and told me they were going to try to learn more about bicycle travel. It was an awesome day. If I spoke to your class yesterday, thank you!!
Some of the more interesting questions that the elementary school students asked me:
Where do you get your food? Do you hunt mostly?
Has a bear ever ripped open your tent in the middle of the night?
How do you poop?
