We have finally landed the plane after Rachel got air sick.  Now I have to study about our destination, the Amazon.  Being in South America is unusual, but beautiful!  I am very excited to learn about the four rainforests of the world.  They are in South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia.  The Amazon is the largest rainforest and covers Brazil, Venezuela, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, and Ecuador.  This would be a good movie!

I have studied about the African rainforest and we are planning on shooting the movie.  The African rainforest is located in west and central Africa.  It has very lush plants and beautiful animals.  Thirty- eight countries make up the African rainforest.

The Amazon is getting more beautiful and I'm thinking about getting Holden to video tape some parts.  Today I have figured out facts about the Asian rainforest.  It is in the southeast and has birds nest and stag horn ferns growing in the wettest areas.  Also it is on parts of islands.

WOW!  The movie is great!  We have studied three rainforests.  I guess I should study more about the rainforest in Australia!     LATER-  I have got a lot of facts on Australia's rainforest!  There is 36% mammals, 50% birds, 23% reptiles, 27% of frogs, 65% of ferns, and is in the northeast.

I think Rachel is doing great on the movie, but Holden is falling asleep.  There are many wonders in the rain..... HEY where are we?!?  Holden, Rachel we are lost!  ( Sigh) There are many wonders in the rainforest.  Holden, what did you just trip over?  A plane?  WOW!  We are saved! Good- bye, I'm going back to New York!
