Around the World in Seven Weeks [Tuesday, July 30, 2013, 2nd period]

[sith_happened]

Anakin and Ben were in Portalocity waiting for the class with enough iced capps for everyone to enjoy while listening to the briefing. Ben was working his way through a box of Timbits, but those were just for him. Sorry.

"Today we're heading to Calgary, Alberta, Canada," Anakin said, pointing out the location on the map. "In the summer: I know this might be a concern to those of you who think Canada is constantly covered in snow."

Like Ben had been until they'd started doing research. Cough. "Calgary hosted the winter Olympics several decades ago," he said, "which is this totally astral sporting event that comes around every four years. Calgary's also home to several First Nations tribes in the area, including the Siksika, Stoney and Tsuu T'ina." Ben kind of destroyed the pronunciation of that last tribe.

"Explore Calgary, have fun with the activities and we'll meet you at the check-in point," Anakin concluded.

Theo jogged in after finishing the luge, feeling pretty exhilarated. And clean! It was always good to come out clean after this class.

"You're second today," Ben said with a grin. "Good job."

"Thanks," Theo said, grinning. "The sled thing was pretty fun. And a little 'life flashing before my eyes' but mostly fun."

"Get lost?" Anakin guessed.

Karina looked around, checking for her classmates but...

"I'm first?"

Yes!

"You're first," Ben confirmed.

After the last thing, Cordelia got to the check in with messed up hair and a glare on her face.

At least she was trying to fix her hair.

"Oh it wasn't that bad," Anakin said. "We didn't make you swim in maple syrup."

Chaz had a grin on his face again. There hadn't been any chickens.

"Can we do the luge again?" It helped him ignore his slightly swollen finger.

Ben nodded. "Sure. That thing is astral."

Kathy came in, practically still bouncing. "That was so much fun!" she gasped. "Whee!"

Re: Check in [7/30]

"Luging or tipi building?" Anakin asked.

"...Why does it have to be or?"
