Luca writes…..I slept until 7:15am. We woke up and took a tuk tuk to breakfast. Then I did word puzzles. Then we took a tuk tuk back to our hostel and packed up our bags and took a boat ride. The boat driver was so crazy that the boat flew in the air. Tía, me and Maggie went on the front of the boat. We took the boat to San Marcos where there was a 40ft jump into the volcanic lake that was made 84,000 years by the volcanoes around it. We went on the path until we got to a big rock. I first jumped off a lower rock then I jumped off the big rock. It was cold in the lake and in the air when I got out of the lake. I was excited and a little bit nervous before I jumped. It felt like “I believe I can fly” when I was in the air. It was so fun. I felt brave. After we jumped we swam to the other side, but we had to take 2 or 3 breaks because our arms were tired. We swam over to meet mommy and Tia who didn’t jump because they thought it was scary so they just slid on their butts into the cold lake. After we dried off, I was so dry I didn’t get one single drop on me. Then we walked to the boat and took it back to Santa Cruz because we had to get our stuff from in the hostel. The ride back was super rough and people were brave. We ate lunch and then I was waiting to play pool before we left but other people took two turns and I didn’t get to play before we had to leave to go meet Mr. Sergio. We took another boat to Pana. Mr. Sergio picked us up at 3:51pm and then we took a 2 hour drive. Then when we got there we had the largest house I could ever think of. Even there were stairs that goes to the roof. Tia asked me if this was a cool house, but i said “it was the best house I could ever think of.” But a grown up has to be with me for sure when I go on the roof. I can see the beautiful view of the volcanos and people’s yard from the roof. There are 3 gardens. There is even a Spanish school I go to.
Today was my first day at Spanish school. It was fun. I made mistakes all the time and I tried again. My teacher’s name is Lucia. Her name is almost the same name as me. She is nice, she doesn’t even know how to say bacon. I picked out the best words in my notebook that was the same letter in English. Like blocks and bacon. We wrote in my notebook things I like in Spanish and my notebook is almost full up to the 3rd page. Michael-John picked us up and we walked home and we can finally relax. But I didn’t because I went bug hunting. I have a special cauldron that I put my bugs in. I have two grubs and lots of rolly pollies. After that I watched Netflix under the bed until mommy called me for lunch. I had the best fried chicken and french fries with ketchup. I hate all of the chicken that Tia gave me and all the french fries. After lunch we went to salsa place. That means we get to dance but I only danced a tiny bit because I didn’t want to get tired. After we went to dinner. We took pictures and saw the volcanoe with the clouds sitting on it. We walked back and we almost got lost because Tias map on her phone wasn’t working until 7:50pm. Then we finally got home and then we went to our room, took a shower, and then we wrote our blog. The end.
