Miss B Visits Beautiful Bermuda!
One cold
winter day in February, Miss B was stuffed into the
bookbag of
one young man at Custer Park
Elementary
School. From there, the fun began! Before long,
Miss B was
transported from the cold Illinois winter to
the pink
sandy beaches on the island of Bermuda!
Come along
with Miss B and learn
more about
the enchanting island of Bermuda.
Where in
the world is Bermuda, anyway?
Bermuda
can be located on most maps southeast of the United States
and
northeast
of the Bahama Islands.
Did
you know Bermuda has blue
and pink busses?
That's
right! There are no yellow school busses in Bermuda. Students,
visitors, and locals all ride the city busses, which just happen to
be pink and blue! Speaking of pink, many of the buildings on Bermuda
are either pink, blue, yellow or purple! Be sure to look for Miss B
in the picture link above.
Did
you know Bermuda has some awesome
caves?
It's true!
If you visit the island of Bermuda, you can see some marvelous
stalagtites and stalagmites.
If you
click on the link above, you will see Miss B beside an incredible
stalagtite, or is it a stalagmite?
Find out
more about stalagtites and stalagmites HERE.
If you are
interested in learning more about caves, visit The
Virtual Cave
website.
Did
you know Bermuda has a very old naval
base,
complete with cannons?
Years ago,
in the year 1820, the naval base was built by prisoners. It is quite
an extensive complex.
The
naval base is guarded by Neptune,
the God of the sea.
Never
heard of Neptune? Find out more about Neptune HERE
or HERE.
Special
thanks to our new friends, Barb, Terry, Tony and Jim,
who let
Miss B accompany them on their recent visit to
Bermuda!
