OUR FREE THE CHILDREN RUN

On Monday may 12 2014 our school organized a run to raise money to build schools in poor countries.
They made a circuit to run around in at Little Rec in Golden Gate Park.  For about a month we had to find sponsors and they paid us a certain amount of money per lap.  We had 12 minutes to run as many laps possible around the circuit.  

In the center of the circuit there was ice cold water.  Whenever you wanted you could stop and drink while you ran.

I had 3 sponsors and they each gave me $1.00 per lap.  I did 10 laps so I got $30.00.

My 2 Week Spring Break

On spring break that lasted 2 weeks, I went to Murfreesboro Tennessee (a small town 1 hour from Nashville), Roselle Park (a small town in New Jersey), and Middletown (another small town in New Jersey).

 We got there on Wednesday April 16 in Middletown New Jersey at Tana's friend's house.  We stayed there until Monday the 21st.

On Friday we went to Manhattan to visit Suzy and eat mac & cheese.  After lunch we took the Subway to the Freedom Tower.

On Easter Sunday we went to Roselle Park (Tana's home town) to visit Tana's sister. We saw the house that Tana grew up in.

That morning I went fishing.  At the first lake we couldn't find anything so we went to a river.  5 minutes later we tried to go find a snake in the riverbank.  Then my fishing pole got stuck in a tree. When I was trying to get it out I fell into the 10 foot deep 40 degree water and I was there for 30 seconds.  I needed the person who brought me fishing to pull me out. I was fine.

On Monday we went to Murfreesboro Tennessee.  We stayed at Tana's other friend's house in the country side in a log cabin.  She was picking up a new foster dog that only had 3 legs.  She had 2 other dogs, a black one that was 60 pounds whose name was Lady and a white one that was 100 pounds that was 1 year old and his name was Bodie.

On the first night I went with their daughter to a pottery place where I made Tana a Mother's Day gift.  

The next day we went to downtown Nashville and ate really good southern food at a restaurant called Southern and we went to a Honkey Tonk. 

The next day we were going to go to a farm but when we got there it was abandoned.  Then we went to a horse farm but we didn't see any horses.  That afternoon we went to a plantation mansion.

That night I went rock-climbing at a local gym.  I did boulders and 5.9's.

The next day (a Thursday) we went back to San Francisco.  I had a good trip.  My favorite parts were when I went to Manhattan and downtown Nashville.
