It is one of the very few things that brings people from all over the world together to compete and celebrate. It is amazing how big the games have gotten in just over 100 years and how many different and new events there are every 4 years! And the most recent summer games were hosted right back where they started - in Greece! I have always loved the Olympic games.

Pierce and I were working on this same question today. Take a look at his posting. In a quick summary, the Cinderella castle is modeled after a castle in France. The Sleeping Beauty Castle (Disneyland in California and Hong Kong) is the castle modeled after a castle in Germany. You can look at Pierce's post to find out the name. I had checked several sites and all say that these two castles and locations are commonly confused. I have not looked in any books though to see if my site sources are correct. Maybe we should look in some books, too? Funny you should comment on the Disney castle! Pierce and I were working on this same question today. Take a look at his posting.

It is still standing after many years. Will it fall over someday? Joey,

I learned something today! Miss O'Neill teaches in Berlin. Did you remember that? Last week she went to her first German Basketball Game. The team is called the Alba Berlin. The Berlin team played RheinEnergie Köln from Cologne. Here are some things she observed at the game: 1. The ball has white stripes on it. 2. Lots of the players are guys from the United States. 3. The Germans really get behind their team and cheer alot. Otherwise, it was pretty much the same as basketball here in the states! -Mrs. Murdach It is so cool about your name translation!
