Our reading group read a story about the Kon~Tiki. The raft was made with balsa logs that were very light. They lashed together nine balsa logs. Thor Heyadahl wanted to prove that people sailed from Lima, Peru to the Polynesian Islands in the past. Thor Heyadahl was the Captain of the raft. We decided to make our own Kon~Tiki. I don"t think mine would make it to the Polynesian Islands.
