Street Cars
Today I rode in a street car to Layfayette Square. Above is a picture of a streetcar. Notice that it does not run on wheels. How do you think it gets its power? Have you ever seen something that this streetcar reminds you of?
The streetcars started running again in 2008, after being shut down due to Hurricane Katrina. It looks like the streetcars are running on the grass, but actually they are running on rails. They travel down the middle of the road where the median is. Cars are on either side of the streetcar running down the road. I thought it was very interesting that even streetcars have to obey the traffic lights and signals!
When we got to base camp today, I got to go kayaking! Here is a picture of me on the swamp! Guess what?! I didn't fall in!
I hope you all are doing well. Have a great weekend! I will be out in the bayou....
Hey, what do you think a bayou is?????????

Hi Ms. Moser!
I was reading your blog, and I think that streetcars get their power by electricity lines that are connected to the wire on the top of it. The streetcar looks like a bus and a train.
Can you please bring a caterpillar back?
Love,

I am not sure if a caterpillar will survive the flight back to NC, but I will check. I agree that streetcars are powered by the wire which connects to the top of it.
I have seen a lot of really unusual caterpillars here. What is the most unusual caterpillar you have ever seen?
