Salty Hair Don't Care

Last week, we were in Puerto Rico!! It was so much fun! My favorite part of the trip was going to the Manatee Conservation Center! We got to help prepare food, feed, and pet the manatees, and most people don’t get to do that! If you didn’t know manatees are endangered. Boat propellers give manatees wounds, and after they are injured, they have to be brought in for rehabilitation! There are only about 400 Manatees in Puerto Rico. Just make sure you are going the speed limit of 5 miles per hour to give the manatees room to get by. Manatees are very slow animals.

The second day we were there, we went to school and met so many friends! I got to present my “I Am” Poem! Oh my, I can’t believe I had my birthday in Puerto Rico! I got sung to three times! For my birthday dinner, we all went to a local restaurant and they sang the best birthday song ever! I loved how involved they were in the song, it made me feel as if they knew me!

I went to the beach everyday and got sand EVERYWHERE!! Besides that, I loved the beach! I have never been to the beach until I went to Puerto Rico and it was absolutely beautiful! I love the feeling of the wet sand on my feet! Best beach experience ever! I would love to go back for my birthday next year or even earlier! I can’t wait to go back!!
