Catch up!
Last friday I brought my backpack to school because we were leaving right from the school. Class got out early and the people going to Arenal all went to the front of the school to wait for our private bus. We were wondering were it was but we didnt know that if was right in front of us. In front of us was big van that held 15 people. I was suprised and alittle dissapointed because I was expecting a huge bus were I would have my own seat and it would be so nice andd;agkhagakl. No it was a small bus that fit 15 people shoulder to shoulder. It turn out all right though because it was nice to get to know people better and everyone was in a good mood so it was good in the hood for me. The trip took about 5 hours because there was an earthquake and we had to take the back roads. We had a rest stop with about an hour left, then drove the rest of the way. The bus driver told us about a deal were we could do three activies for $60 dollars so I thought I would do that. The bus drivers name I dont remember and I didnt remember it at the time so I asked him what his nickname was. He said he didnt have one but he had white hair so I named him Don Blanco. So the rest of the trip Everyone called him Don Blanco. When we got into the town of Areinal it was around 830pm. The first place we stopped was this activity agency place were Don Blanco insisted for about 15min that we should go here. He talked so highly of the place for so long that I was starting to think that it was a scam. But I went with my gut and booked the three activities, the zip line through the canope, going down a cliff in a harness, and horseback riding. After we booked that we found out the hostel we wanted to stay at to save money cost 70 dollars a night and we couldnt believe that. So we went to the hotel Los Lagos. The hotel was goregous. The rooms were about a 5 kil walk from the check in building. Our room had 6 people with four beds. We did this to save money. We got there and ate dinner which was ok, Then hit the pools! They were awsome and super hot which was so relaxing and fun! the water slides were so fast and if they were in the usa they would have been illegal. Chau.
