I rode a camel on the beaches of Tangier, Morocco. I swear, I have the pictures to prove it! Other than that I have climbed one of the highest portions of the Great Wall of China, ridden the Shinkansen, and researched the U-Boat presence off of North Carolina's Outer Banks and the identity complications of being a Lumbee Indian. Then I gave a 30 minute presentation to 4th-6th graders on the Lumbee routing of the Klu Klux Klan in Maxton, NC. They loved it!
