VeraMaria Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 ...but I'm leaving for 5 days, from Tuesday to Saturday. The whole freshman grade is going on this program called Outward Bound, 5 days in the Everglades. We canoe across the Everglades and the 1000 islands, sleep in tents, have to cook our food (maybe hunt it....*gulp*) and navigate our way through the "River of Grass" called the Florida Everglades. Now I'm really excited about this, i'm reallyinto the whole outdoorsy adventure stuff, and my best friends are in my group. It's the school's tradition to send the freshmen every year over there, and in PE we've been learning navigation and canoeing...... :D THIS IS GOING TO BE SO FUN!! Actuaqlly, we had some interesting talks and demonstartions by different teachers who suggested different ways to "do your business" (elegant way to put it, isn't it, teachers always wrap everything up) on this trip. But I Hate to leave you all again. :sadder: I leave Tuesday and come back Saturday. Today we went shopping for all this stuff I'll need.... Please pray we don't get eaten by alligators! :ph34r: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLAZEr Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 Ummm . . . you're not tall are you? I hear alligators love to eat tall people. Oh yeah, and I read somewhere that alligators love the smell of rubber . . . you might want to avoid tennis shoes in the Everglades. Oh and according to Steve Erwin, Alligators are like crocodiles except they aren't naturally aggressive . . . unless they know you speak German.

VeraMaria Posted January 11, 2004 Author Share Posted January 11, 2004 I bought a really cool bug spray that's also SPF 30 sunscreen. They told us that our enemies would be, in this order: 1. sun 2. mosquitos 3. weather :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
