Today we all woke up in our room, me waking up especially early because i'm still not used to the time differnce. We got to breakfast super late due to everybody else waking up late. We all knew it was our last day in paradise and knew we had to pack to get ready to leave. Soon, it was lunch time and we all said to each other that this lunch was going to be our last lunch in Costa Rica. We all became very sad but decided to make the best of it. Kristin, Suhasini, Angela, and I went to the souvenir shop together just to take a look. We had a lot of free time before the best and last adventure of the trip which was white water rafting. Soon it was time to leave for the best adventure yet. We all walked to the white water rafting place and got comfortable. We walked to an edge (cliff like) with our clothes on and jumped off into the rapids. Then we swam over to our boats and hopped in. I was in a yellow raft with Angela, Kristin, Suhasini, Kayla, Mrs. Berman-Dry, and our guide, Charlie. Angela and I sat in the front of the raft with Kristin and Suhasini behind us and then Mrs. Berman-Dry and Kayla then Charlie. We were all paddling and making a team effort and were soon off into the rapids. We dropped and spun around and got soaked. We had a blast. Soon we were bored in the calm water so we decided to drop a beat. We sang and sang as we paddled along and just kept a positive attitude even though it was raining very hard and we were all cold and wet in the raft. Sadly the rafting had to come to an end sooner or later. We all hopped out of the boat and walked carefully up to a sheltered area and enjoyed some fresh watermelon and pineapple. Then we raced back to the lodge and took some nice COLD showers. Then we walked down to dinner in our rain jackets. Now we are off to go to a closing candle ceremony at 7:00. I am packing and getting ready to come home. I dont want to come home. I really want to stay here forever, Can I move here? See you all tomorrow at the aitport. I'm gonna miss this place.
