i've been fried!


Hi this is Isaiah writing and i'm going to tell you about some of the things i've done so far. I've gone on the longest plane ride I've ever been on. It was from Calgary at 7:30, then I watched a lot of t.v and then at 9:30 we landed in L.A. Then at the air port my family and my friends had to go through security. there was a big machine that scanned people for items that are not permitted on the plane. Then at 12:00 am. something we left L.A and flew to Guatemala. The ride ended at about 7:30. After that a big bus/van thing picked us up from the air port and an hour drive to Antigua.
The place that were staying has a big fence around the yard. We walk to school every day. Then on the weekend we got to drive to a hotel that had the oc
ean on the other side. When we got there we found a scorpion on the wall. We killed it with our shoe!



My friend Kade had a birthday on that day so we had a pinata. At the ocean the waves were so big that it hurt when it smashes you into the sand. It was so hot i got totally fried! I didn't get burned, I just didn't feel so good because I had a lot of sun. The riptide that was going out was scary sometimes. The sand is black too. We released baby turtles into the ocean and got to watch them scooch their way into the ocean. They were so cute!
Then on Sunday we went to the ocean and the pool and lun
ch, then soon it was time to go. The ride was bumpy the last 30 min. and I got sick in my tummy. When we got back I laid down and then we went for dinner and we got to watch part of Shrek. then in the morning we walked to school. I have learned lots of Spanish words like el cuchio, el plato, and la mesa.

Bonjour mes amis! Hola amigos!
So glad to hear that you have arrived safely. You LOOK FANTASTIC and HAPPY! How big was that scorpion. The ones that I see in Costa Rica are about as long as a pink eraser...was yours big?

Be very careful of the riptides....has anyone shown you how to get out of one? Ask, it may be helpful!!

I am so jealous of your turtle experience! That's awesome!!!

I don't know what el cuchio is...? Ayudame, help me!

Isaiah, did you figure out what I wrote to you in your book?

the scorpion was about the size of one and a half erasers. el cuchio is knife. yes i do know how to get out of a riptide. if you get sucked out, swim parallel to the shoreline and then try to come in again. i did not figure the message out yet. i will email you when i figure it out. thanks for writing back. i appreciate it a lot!!
