Happyland!!!

This morning began very early, with a paranoid skipper, Laura Brett asking what time it is with the answer being 3:11 am. A couple of hours later, at 5:45, I was told to get up and get going. Not two minutes after she left to get everyone else up, I heard Jorge!!!! Russell!!!! GET UP!!!!! Ha! That didn't even get them up, so I heard the whole story of their grand awakening later on the three and a half hour bus ride, which was long but beautiful. After the first two hours, we stopped for breakfast at a cool little restaurant. It had a nice little fire and the food was delicious. Another hour later, we met a group of indigenous people. These people were simply amazing. Just two years ago they had just started to learn about art, school, language, etc. They had several crafts that were simply stunning. They had made decorative animals out of bark cloth, which is a tedious process in the first place. They also had an assortment of necklaces and other jewellery. Gail and the others played with some of the kids. This was very funny considering they were trying to explain how a Frisbee works via gestures. Then we were shown the school, by one of their teachers. He told us about the background of the school building and it was shocking. The progress it had made in the last two years was really amazing. After all this we went to Happyland. Yeah! It's great! There are everlasting rainbows and horses! And huge pots of Gold!! Uhm no. it's the hotel. We had a lot of fun in the pool playing on the slide and seeing who could do the best imitation of a seal. But I must say the showers are pretty nice. I can just imagine when we are all home taking our showers, well all think Ah. I haven't had a shower like this since. Well, since Happyland.
