TUESDAY MORNING CHALLENGE

Once the Spanish people discovered chocolate, they kept the new substance to themselves for many years, making it into a beverage and drinking it.  In 1579, a Spanish vessel was attacked by English Pirates, finding it full of cocoa beans. Being unfamiliar with the delicious substance, they set fire to the vessel thinking they had conquered a vessel full of sheep droppings. The Spanish fell in love with the substance and were the first to start adding sugar to it.

In 1829 the cocoa press was invented, and with it came cocoa powder, cocoa butter and then solid chocolate. This invention was used to bring chocolate to the world.  In 1847 the first chocolate bar was invented, and two years later, the Cadbury company in England came up with the idea for a box of chocolates, which they made available specifically for Valentine’s Day. 

Now do some research of your own and make a Fact File or PPPT entitled:

The greatest thing about Go for a Ride Day is that there is no one, right way to celebrate it.  What is your favourite mode of transportation? Depending on where you live in the world, you could spend this day traveling somewhere into the unknown by boat, plane, helicopter, car, motorcycle, rollerskates, skateboard, or even more old-fashioned modes of transport, like by horse, sleigh, or horse-drawn carriage.

How you travel doesn’t matter, in fact, you may just want to put on your most comfortable shoes and go for a walk.
