Floating Islands

“I could not believe how soft the reeds of the island were to walk on.  Although the cat on the island was soft it’s bite was not-  I will not pet a strange cat again.”
Jessie



“I loved learning about the lifestyle of the people who lived here and was impressed that they were using solar panels.”
Luke


“Wow! What a cultural experience interacting with the people and seeing their unusual way of life.”
Winnie


“Such a cool experience.  I would have never guessed that these existed.”
Randy


“I still have not fully digested this stop.  A stunning cultural memory.”
Lou


“I can not believe that people live on these islands.  Thirty-five different people lived on the small island that we visited.  WOW!”
Christa


“Awesome.  I never knew such a thing was possible!”
Spencer


“The way that everything is so well thought out here is amazing.  Very impressive.”
Morgan


“I thought it was interesting  how they built these islands.”
Andrew


“It is crazy how these people used these islands to escape from their enemies so many years ago and that they still use them today.”
Sam


“These (the floating islands) were truly unique and amazing.”
Jan


“Amazing lifestyle on the floating islands- fascinating combination of tradition and modernity.”
Cam


“It was crazy to think that thirty plus people could live in this space on an island made of reeds that is as big or smaller than just one house back in Lawrence Kansas. “
Lauren


“The concept of these floating islands was incredibly fascinating.”
Zach


“The floating islands were fascinating.  The straw boat ride was very relaxing.”
