Room+13A

THIS IS AT OUR FIRST RESTING POINT WHERE JEFF SHOWED US THESE CLIFFS, AND POINTED OUT SOME PLANTS AROUND THE CANYON. THIS IS WHERE WE WATCHED THE SUNSET AFTER DINNER. This is the beginning of our river voyage. These are the hieroglyphics at our first stop on our river voyage. This is where we saw the ancient Indian hotel. At the Indian hotel we saw some more hieroglyphics where the Indians drew a picture of a volcano erupting. On the first day when we arrived at the canyon, we exited the bus and took a mile hike down the canyon and another mile up. On the way down, our tourgide stopped us a few times to educate us on the plants, animals and rocks of the canyon. When we reached our destination we stopped at Ooh aah point. On the way back up, the cool guys and me and Kenny ran up. We beet the other groups. At the top, while waiting for the other groups, we played with the mules in captivity. And we named all the mules. After that, we got back on the buses and went to a special part of the canyon to watch the sunset. From there, we could see a little sliver of the river.

-DAY ONE COMPLETE-

on the second day we took a two mile bus ride through the canyon. The tunnel was pitch black. Once we arrived at the bottom, we put on hard hats and walked down to the water. Behind us was a huge dam. We set off on our river voyage. After about a half an hour, our captan of our raft stopped the boat and talked to us about the serounding canyon. This would be the first stop of many. After about three hours we took a break and looked at some hieroglyphics. After that, we all walked over to the beach. There, me and Kenny were the first to jump off our boat into the freezing cold water. It was about half an hour when we got back on the boats. After a few minutes me, and the rest of our boat crew, made up a song. It went like this.

//SINGING THE TUNE OF “THE WHEELS ON THE BUS”.//

//The propellers on the boat go round and round, round and round, round and round// //The propellers on the boat go round and round, all through the river!//

//The kids on the boat go bartle doo, bartle doo, bartle doo,// //The kids on the boat go bartle doo, all through the river!//

//The breeze on the boat goes swish swish swish, swish swish swish, swish swish swish// //The breeze on the boat goes swish swish swish, all through the river!//

//The kids on the boat are soaking wet, soaking wet, soaking wet// //The kids on the boat are soaking wet, all through the river!//

//The adults on the boat go shut up please, shut up please, shut up please,// //The adults on the boat go shut up please, all through the river!//

After what felt like another two hours, we finally hit land. Once back on the buses we took some pictures with a few huge rocks. Then, lunch! After lunch we all took a ride to the Indian hotel. There, we walked to the house, saw a meeting circle, sport arena, and a blowhole! After this huge journey, we all headed home!!!
