We arrived in Samara on the 1st of September. Eugenio dropped us off at a restaurant and we said goodbye. After we had finished eating, we went for a walk along the beach then we headed to our lodge. The next day, we had a relaxing day at home and went exploring through Samara. On the 3rd of September we had a little math lesson and my dad and I went for a bike ride, that afternoon we went to see the turtles that Anna has blogged about. 
The next day was our first day of school, my sisters and I were quite nervous but mostly excited. We woke up super early that morning because school started at 7:45 so once we were ready for school we started walking, on that walk we saw howler monkeys on a telephone wire and an iguana.
We finally arrived at the school that my mom had said was our school but no one was there so we kept walking. After walking for about five more minutes we came across a teacher from our real school ( which we still didn’t no where it was ) and she started laughing when we told her we were trying to walk to school because apparently it was 2 miles away. My mom ran to Pali the grocery store and asked for a taxi but ended up getting an old man in a very old car with a broken steering wheel.
The school in Samara was very different from the school in Vancouver, the school in Samara is different because it only has three classes and goes up to sixth grade only. Grade five grade four and six are together, grade three and grade one are together and grade two is by itself. There are only three teachers and a principle. There are a couple subjects like Spanish, French, English, math, natural resources and science. I don’t understand Spanish very much. I like English because we are reading a good book called wonder. I haven’t had French yet. In math we are learning long division which I haven’t learnt yet. In natural resources they are making eco bricks ( which is non recyclable products packed into a bottled and transformed into bricks ). In science we are learning about planets. You bring your own snacks and if you would like you can buy lunch from the school which we do. On the first day three people introduced them selfs and now Anna is friends with two of them. I am friends with another girl, and so is Elise.
Friday was a pro-D day so we went ZIP LINING !!!!!! It was so fun, that afternoon we went boogie boarding in the ocean and the ocean was naturally warm so I also loved that!!!
