Day six

Today we got up and had breakfast and left at 8:40 and drove for 2 and a half hours to the rain forest. The rain forest was really neat. We walked through the rain forest with a guide who told us about the trees. Then we got to the canopy and walked on rope bridges from tree to tree. We were 130 feet above the it seem like the ground was covered in leaves instead of grass. That took about an hour.

We had sandwhiches, I made them before we left, while we drove to St. Georg's Castle. It took us an hour to get there. We had lunch at a resteraunt at the castle. St. Georg's Castle was neat. Slaves were housed in the dongens there. I thought it was cool that our guide told us about the slaves from an African point of view. It was just very memorable. There were seperate cells for the men and women but what was interesting was that there were two differant cells for the men. One for the African men and one for men who got in trouble. The one for the Africans had no ventilation and the door let almost no light in. The one for the people who dissobayed orders was much nicer. It had two windowes and a door that let lots of light in. At the end of the tour our guid showed us a tunle that had lots of bats in it. I walked in first watching the bats and only noticed that the ground was soft because I sunk in a little. Ray Walked in after me also looking at the bats and not the floor. Daddy hadn't come in yet but he could see the floor and told us to look at it. When ever you stepped on the round and then lifted your foot a bunch a cocroches came out of the ground. As soon as Ray relized what was coming out of the ground he freaked out. I could tell he wanted to get out but apparently Robert and Daddy didn't realize that. Eventualy they moved and Ray got out. The drive home was three hours and we thought it would only be an hour. That was a bummer but it was a great day.
