Madi’s Costa Rica Weekend

This weekend was a blast! We left for the beach on Saturday morning and on our way there we saw a huge river with HUNDREDS of CROCODILES swimming in it! How cool! When we got to the hotel I nearly screamed – it was so beautiful! There were palm trees and iguanas and the view was amazing!!! The water was turquoise and there were tropical islands! We immediately got our bathing suits on and jumped in the pools! It was sooooo cool. It had bridges you could swim under and a volleyball net and a swim-up bar. We got pina coladas and fresh fruit – yum! Then we got to our room service and watehed the sunset. J

The next day we got room service again and swam in the pool and we saw about 50 iguanas!!!! It was so fun! Then we went to the bar to get smoothies – as we sat on the bar stools that were UNDERWATER (awesome) we then went to the ocean and then we had to go home L

We stopped at the Marina for lunch and we saw the boats and walked around on the dock. The view was so pretty! Then we were walking down these stairs and Vicky was holding onto the railing and suddenly her hand touched something black and furry and this cat appeared out of nowhere – it was hilarious! OK…have no more stories. PURA VIDA!!!

Weekend with my Buddies by Victoria Bolaños

This weekend my buddies and I went to the Builtmore State. The Builtmore State is a big house, the biggest house in the United States, built in the 19s. This big house had about 43 bathrooms. It was built and designed by a man named Jorge Vanderbilt. he built it for his family and friends. We got there on Sunday morning. We had a wonderful trip around the house and gardens and then went to this delicious hot tub. We had so much fun together that I hope our friendship can last forever
