http://edventureproject.com/wordpress Living Education through Adventure Sun, 22 Aug 2010 01:53:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 en hourly 1 Tony and Jennifer Miller, with their four children, travel for a living, having traversed Europe and explored Tunisia by bicycle. Currently, they are making their way through Central America in their van. Tony and Jenn, during their work with The Institute for REALITY (www.i4reality.org), have been dedicated to providing a living education and promoting this in the homeschool community. Their philosophy comes alive in this blend of education and adventure found on this bike tour. During this trip, they are producing a multi-level cross curricular unit study based on their experiences in the cultures they visit. This is primarily meant for use in a home school, but is applicable for all ages and types of education. This podcast and the travelogue available on their web site (www.edventureproject.com) chronicle the trip and add to the unit study. Sign in and communicate with the travelers for a terrific, interactive experience.

Mezcal is a liquor, similar to tequila in that it’s made by distilling juice from the agave plant. However, where tequila can only use one type of agave, mezcal can be made of other types, so the flavors can vary greatly, much like wine.

The different types of music one hears throughout an area does, in a way, define that area. Of course, there are many things that make up a culture, but music, being such a personal thing, expresses the personality of individuals within a culture. So, this is a collection of music heard during our travels. A collection of street music from Germany and the Czech Republic.

The kids all know it as “Our Theme Song” when it comes on, but it’s really called “Gardens and the Graves.” It’s a great song. Listen to the full song on this episode of the podcast, and pay attention to the lyrics. Then, head over to iTunes and buy their albums for more great songs, and to www.ryanhood.com for more info about them and where you might be able to catch a show. As we are getting closer to blast-off, things are coming together. One of these things is a theme song for the podcast.
