If you’re an 8th grader reading this, you probably know that we went to Manuel Antonio. If you don’t you’re pretty clueless. So, we left on the bus at 6, Costa Rica time. In other words, we left around 6:30. We spent a two hour bus ride to get to this place where we could either to Canopy or Superman. I did the Superman. Before we did the one of the two activities we ate  breakfast; we just ate a ordinary Costa Rican breakfast. When it was time to do the Superman i had to wait about two hours before I could go, because they had to get three-fourths of the people in their harnesses before we started; that part was pretty dumb. Any who, we were to lay on a mattress type thing and get latched on a cord horizontally. They would pull you back and release you. You would be “flying” in the air about 150 feet-200 feet high on a wire maybe quarter mile long or more. After I went I had to wait another half hour or so for the rest of the people to go. Then, we walked around a bit, ate a lunch buffet. We left and had to take another two hour bus drive to Manuel Antonio, it took three because it was raining. We got there at night time, put our luggage in our rooms, and ate dinner. We had a choice of chicken, a burger, and spaghetti. I had chicken, sadly, since almost everyone ordered a burger, I got my food after half of the people were done. But the chicken was good the end. After, we went into the hotel’s pool and chilled for a while. The next morning, we had another ordinary Costa Rican breakfast and went on another two hour bus ride to go White Water Rafting. I was with Richard, Diana, Michael, Andrea, and Mr. Rodriguez. Richard and I both fell out once. We stopped by this really awesome area where there was this waterfall and you could go right underneath and get pounded by it. Of course that would be unsafe unless we had helmets, which we did. So after we finished we ate lunch, there was macaroni salad. When we got back to the hotel, we went to the beach, because it was two blocks away. We played a little football and went back. After dinner, we had a choice of fish, rice and chicken, and two other things, we had a fashion show. There were two honorable mentions to DJ for his amazing modeling skills and Brandon for his exquisite artistic skills. The 3rd was Hyrein, 2nd Marian, and 1st Brady. The next morning we went to the Manuel Antonio National Park to rake leaves. But, after we got to go to the beach in the National Park. It was an amazing beach but with a few too many rocks. Later, we went on the bus ride back home and we got there on time, Costa Rican time, two hours late.

Tomorrow, Friday April 25, I’m going to Wyldlife Camp at La Montaña. From what I hear it’s going to be a pretty awesome experience. We’re going to have the time of our lives and do lots of awesome activities. The camp is going to be from the 25th to the 27th. We get home at 12 so we can do our homework I guess. Four of my good friends are going.In other news,  I had a math quiz today. I didn’t ask my grade but I’m sure it’s pretty dang good. During the test, I felt that it was easy because I studied and I tried hard. On my last test/quiz for math I got a barely passing grade. So I’m pretty excited to see the grade I got at school tomorrow.Well, I have to have 250 words in this post so I’ll keep rambling on about events in my life. Yesterday, Wednesday, we, the basketball team, played a game against Marian Baker School. They put up a real hard fight but ours was harder. By the end of the fourth quarter the scores were tied, I don’t remember the exact numbers. So, we went into overtime. What got us the win was our defense, they got one easy shot but that’s about it. The best players of our game were, of course our point, Ian, our shooter, DJ, and our two big guys, Diego and Santiago. I would advise looking at their blogs.  I’d like to thank you for reading this, it means alot to me.

Adios amigo,
