Hey bloggers. For the summer learning journey, we had to write a letter to our best friend or a family member telling them about our trip to the tundra. To earn full points our letter must have a greeting (eg. Dear…) followed by 5 – 6 sentences of information about what our experience.so heres mine
Dear: Clara and Sam
It has been an adventer But is so very cold here. It is -18 deggres f°. I have gotten frost bite but it was worth it when I saw the veiws. I am getting sick of this frezze dried food ( not the ice cream though ).
I cant wait to see you agian. I am so very tired and I am running low on water. I hope this letter gets to you.
Your dearest friend
Jasmine
(Ps: make me cookies so I can eat them nom nom nom)

Hey Jasmine,
ReplyDeleteLavinia Here! You are doing really well!!
Merry Xmas!
Hi Jasmine
ReplyDeleteLeslie here, a member of the Summer Learning Journey team, reading your blog from Canada. The tundra is found in the northern region of our country and it is a huge area that very few people travel through.
Our first nations people who live there are called Inuit, or 'the people'. They have developed great resiliency in order to live in such a cold, harsh climate. I admire them tremendously!!!
Your letter is super. I'm sure that I would get tired of freeze-dried food too if I were travelling for days through the tundra. My husband has done some northern trips and, though he never minds the food, he finds the biggest challenge is the bugs that swarm all summer long. The summer in the tundra is very brief but, while it last, the bugs are incredibly difficult to deal with.
You're right, too, that drinking water can be an issue. One has to melt snow most often in order to have enough to drink. That takes time and a good stove.
I loved your letter. Keep up your good work on these activities. I'll keep reading your blog.
Cheers,
Leslie
