2 Days in a Row!!! The Crowd goes wild!!

MARCO....
POLO....

Sai recently did a research project for school on Marco Polo. The final project was to be a map of an explorers travels.
Here are a couple of pictures of her map.

She used baked clay as montains, glued sand in the desert areas and used colored Spaghetti noodles to mark his journey from Italy to China and then back.
Why spaghetti, well, Marco Polo was actually the person who brought pasta to Italy from China.
Yes, Pasta originated in China. :)
Thomas Jefferson brought pasta to America from Italy.
The sea monster in the corner is actually one of the monsters Marco Polo claimed to see on his journey.
It was a fun project. Projects are definitely her favorite.
Oh, I forgot to mention that her map, is almost the size of my table. :)
