There are a lot of different kinds of rocks in Namibia. They have a lot of rock shops and a museum that has the world's largest piece of quartz. This is a picture of that largest piece of quartz with me standing in front of it. The museum is in Swapokmund on the coast, and we were there two weeks ago.
I've found and bought a lot of rocks that are really cool. I bought some amethyst, tourmaline, aquamarine, and quartz. I bought some of them at a market on the side of the road and I got 3 stones for about US$8.
I am doing baseball and track and a play that is called "Fiddler on the Roof" here at school. In track I am doing shot put, which is when you throw a metal ball as far as you can. It's 4 kg, which is about 8 pounds. I went to a track meet and we competed against other schools. I got 5th out of 8 people. I threw it over 5 meters.
Baseball just started, and my friend Max's dad had a bunch of gloves mailed over from a team in the US. At the first practice we did basic things, because few kids knew how to play.
I'm going to play the butcher, Lazar Wolf, in Fiddler on the Roof. I have to sing, but not a solo. I'm also going to help make the set.
At school, we're doing an exhibition project. We work in pairs, and we have to make something and sell it. We have to come up with a marketing plan. My partner and I made a golf tee game, like the one you can play at Cracker Barrell. We had to cut the wood and drill the holes, and now we have to come up with packaging.
Thank you for reading this.
