A Trip to Bolivia

Emma S.

           Over the summer, my family went to Bolivia. That place is AMAZING! We went on an Amazon jungle trip. I saw pink dolphins when we went on the canoe ride. They look so cute! Some guy in our boat wanted to swim with them so bad, that the person rowing actually stopped and let him! We watched him for a bit, then he climbed back on and we headed to shore. My family hung out at the beach most of the trip. The water there is so clear, blue-green, and sparkles when the sun shines on it.

          My family also went to the carnival in Bolivia. We rode a lot of rides and ate a lot of food. We also, went to see the Mountain of Death Road. Three annoying daredevil teenagers ran away up the mountain when no one but me was looking. They found barrels that other people left up there (probably because they chickened out at the last minute or decided to live longer). They jumped into the three barrels, and rolled down the 600m drop! Everyone could see and hear them screaming and holding on for dear life. The tallest guy came down first and then the shortest guy came 5 seconds after. They were SUPER dizzy. We all turned to watch the third person come down, but we never saw him again. So, we started walking back, when we saw someone coming up to us. it was the third guy! he was also, very dizzy and all three kids got in big trouble.

          Bolivia has some great foods too! We ate Chairo, which is beef soup, chunos, and vegetables. We also had, Pique a lo macho. That is basically chopped beef over fries and sauté and diced onions with fresh tomatoes. Both dishes taste SO good! I love Bolivia so much.
