This past week was Spring Break!!! Spring Break is a time where students get more than a week off from school. On my Spring Break I went to Puerto Rico. Here is what I did
Why we went:We went down to Puerto Rico because my dad was doing a triathalon down there and we wanted to go there for vacation.
Friday: On Friday I went on my plane and the first plane was 2 hours long to Texas and the second plane was4 hours long to Puerto Rico. I fell asleep on the plane a lot because they were really early flights. As soon as we got to the airport we didn’t really know what we were doing because all of the signs had Spanish on it.
Saturday : Then we had a day of exploring the island and we had pancakes the size of a basketball! We also saw a casino,gelato places, and some interesting shops. Then we went to the pool and ocean to cool of in the hot winter. So this day was a relaxing day.
Sunday: My dad had his Ironman today and he started about 6 in the morning.While my dad was doing that we walked down to go see him because we didn’t have a car. While we walking we got a little lost but we were okay. When we found the race we saw my dad when he finished and he looked exhausted!!! Then we went to go look at the sea for animals, but we could’t see any. Then we went back to the pool to cool off.
Monday: We went to the forts that protected the island. There were two we went to. They had cannons and cannon balls, displays to show you some pictures on what they did in the forts and guns. I thought I had saw some blood stains, but my mom said they were just clay. The forts were really hard and very thick. For lunch we went to a Puerto Rican place that was really good and in Puerto Rico there is a lot of plantains, which are like short fat bananas and are usually fried and they were really good.
Tuesday: On Tuesday I played a little tennis in the morning.Then we went paddle boating and paddle boarding. That was really fun, but it hurt my legs from the paddle boat. Next, we went to the pool again. We went to go look at the waves crash against the rocks and see little crabs wander around.
Wednesday: Wednesday was the last full day in Puerto Rico and we went to the pool again and went snorkeling and saw really cool fish. The best part of the day was we went zip-lining, hiking, and ropes at the adventure place. It was the best day ever we had a great time zip-lining up and down the high mountains. The people that helped us were really nice. This was the best day ever.
Thursday: We went home on the plane again, but instead we went to New York. We stayed there for about 2 hours then went to teh other flight to go back home! We got home about 9:30 pm. I was exhausted from being in Puerto Rico, but it was one of the best trips I have ever had.
