Summary: Arianna's time in the Philippines

We arrive on a beautiful island with pristine beaches with white sand and brown and green palm trees. We get off the caravan. The beach pops in my head. I visualize.

"This is so beautiful!" I exclaim.

"Not as beautiful as you." Frederic tells me.


Gabriella and I are on the beach. I draw a box in the sand and write the number one in the middle. I draw two boxes above it and write the numbers two and three in the middle. I draw a box in the sand above them and write the number four in the middle. I draw two boxes above it and write the numbers five and six in the middle. I draw a box in the sand above them and write the number seven in the middle. I draw two boxes above it and write the numbers eight and nine in the middle. I draw a dome on top and write the number ten in the middle.

We each picked up pink pebbles from a bed of rocks nearby. I throw my pebble. It lands on the number ten. I hop one foot on the number one. I hop feet apart on the numbers two and three. I hop one foot on the number four. I hop feet apart on the numbers five and six. I hop one foot on the number seven. I hopped feet apart on the numbers eight and nine. I hop feet together on the number ten. I step off the path.

Gabriella throws her pebble. It lands on the number ten. She hops one foot on the number one. She hops feet apart on the numbers two and three. She hops one foot on the number four. She hops feet apart on the numbers five and six. She hops one foot on the number seven. She hops feet apart on the numbers eight and nine. She hops feet together on the number ten. She steps off the path.


We are on the beach. I am in a pink ombre bikini. Gabriella is in a dark green bikini.

"Gabriella, do not push Frederic in the ocean, he can not swim." Demanitus explains.

"Okay, fine, I won't." She replies.

"Do you want to build a sandcastle?" Gabriella asks me.

"Sure." I reply. I grab a gray pail, go over to the ocean, scoop up some water, went back to Gabriella, and pour the pail out in front of Gabriella. I build a brick out of the sand. Gabriella builds pillars on top of the brick. I build tiny bricks around the top of the pillars. Gabriella builds cones on top of the pillars.

I walk away from our sandcastle. I find a pink shell. I pick it up. I find a purple shell. I pick it up. I find a teal shell. I pick it up. I find a yellow shell. I pick it up. I found an orange shell. I pick it up. I find a teal shell. I pick it up.

I come back to the sandcastle about the same time Gabriella as with seaweed. She puts the seaweed around the top of the rectangle. I put the pink shell on top of the first pillar. I put the purple shell on top of the second pillar. I put the teal shell on top of the third pillar. I put the yellow shell on top of the fourth pillar. I put the orange shell on top of the middle pillar. Gabriella puts a piece of brown bark on the front of the sandcastle. I put the teal shell above the bark. I grabs a brown stick and carve a river from the ocean to the sandcastle. I carve a circle around the sandcastle.

I go to a tide pool down by the ocean. I see a pink starfish. I pet it. Its skin felt rough on my hand. I see a purple sea anemone. I see a pink sea urchin. I lightly pet it. I see some white barnacles. I pet it. Their skin feels rough on my hand. I see a red hermit crab with a pink shell. I pet the shell.

I dive in the ocean. I see a massive blue whale shark with white speckles swimming by. I swim over to it. I pet it. It is smooth. I see a blue manta ray swimming by. I swim over to it. I pet it. It was smooth. I see a gray manatee swimming by. I swim over to it. I pet it. It is smooth. I see a green sea turtle swimming by. I swim over to it. I pet its shell. It is rough. I see a yellow octopus with brown spots on it on the ocean floor. I swim down to it. I pet it. It is smooth. I see tons of blue, red, yellow, silver, green, and orange fish swim around me. I see a red lobster. I see a giant pink clam open to reveal a white pearl. I swim down and grab the pearl. I hear something swim behind me. I turn around to see a gray shark with a very long top tail fin. It eats me. I visualize. I wave to the shark. I swim ashore.


Frederic, Gabriella, Demanitus and I get in the caravan.
