The Costa Rican Times Episode II

Hello.  This is Emma the animal lover

And this is Anna:]

Yep. :) Today we’ll be talking about the past two days in which we canoed to the Bibri tribe, made chocolate, brewed coffee the old fashioned way, biked to the beach, walked and walked some more, snorkeled, and kayaked back to the bus.  We’ll also be adding a small jokes page.  Anna will start first with how to brew coffee.  But, the Bibri tribe way!

The Bibri tribes does not use electricity or gas in anyway. They do not have a machine that  uses batteries. What they use is a small sack that water can through that is hung on a small wire. The sack is about six inches tall. Fist they place a bowl underneath to catch the coffee. Next you add the ground coffee into the sack then pour hot water in the sack. Once you pour the water over the coffee, cofee starts pouring into the cup. We also did they same thing with coco beans. we added some ground coco beans into the sack poured some hot water over and something kind of like hot chocolate came out the bottom. And that is how coffee and hot chocolate is made in the Bibri Tribe.

Thanks Anna:].  Now here I am with information about the canoe ride to the tribe, and back.

On the canoe ride to the Bribri tribe, we saw a lot of things.  First of all, we saw a toucan flying over us!  Then we saw a emerald basilisk, a green lizard with a green crest on its head. It looked a little like a chameleon!  We also saw a lot of waterfalls, probably formed from all the rain from the rainforest.  We were really lucky on the way there, it wasn’t raining! On the way back, we weren’t so lucky.  Anna and I took off our ponchos before the ride, but soon it started raining again.  To put it simply, we got DRENCHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  (Do you think that’s enough explanation points, Anna?)

(No, you should add a few more to really exaggerate the point)

Ok.  To put it simply, we got DRENCHED!X100,000,000,000,000 (Better?)

(I guess, but next time put some more)

(All right.  How about this.)  To put it simply, we got DRENCHED!!X200,000,000,000,000  (There.)

( well if you just added more you should have put more than that)

Oh boy.  Last time….  To put it simply, we got DRENCHED!!!!X900,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000  My gosh.  IS THAT ENOUGH ALREADY?!?!?!?

( Just perfect, but really add a little MORE next time,okay??????????)

(oh fine.)  Anyway, We saw a stork on the way back.  Ok goodbye now.  (next time YOU should add more question marks!!!!!!)

( No no, question marks aren’t as important as exclamation points.)

We have to go soon, so we’ll start the joke page.  Why did the toucan go over us?  Because he wanted to know the way to San José!  Ok, we have to go now.  This is Emma the animal lover, signing off.  Have you spayed/neutered your pets yet?  Patrick, are you having fun?  Good :)b This is Anna signing off and don’t eat my jelly beans.
