The Children's Crusade

Looking back in time to the year 1212, I could see this happening although 30,000 – 40,000 children seem like so many.  From reading what different websites had to say though, Stephen of Cloyes (the supposed leader of this crusade) went on this crusade and gathered more and more children as they went on their journey.  The story has it that Stephen had received a letter from Jesus telling him to go to Jerusalem.  He gathered many children and they went on their way, most of them didn’t make it to the Mediterranean, but those who did had to take boats across.  Stephen had promised the waters to part like the Red Sea did, but this was not the case.  No one heard of the children after that.  A priest, years later, said that he ran into some of the children that lived through the ordeal (now adults).

Memory for Lynn

It is a Japanese custom to purchase souvenirs (or omiyage) from places they have traveled. Write a description of a souvenir that Katie might bring from California to put at Lynn's grave. I think Katie would take a picture of the bright blue sky while lying on the beach.  She would also take a picture of the horizon as the ocean meets the sky.  She would make frames with Uncle to put the pictures in and place it at Lynn’s grave.
