Munnar And Spring Break

 Our Spring Break was caused by Emma ( our teacher ) going to the north of India for 2 weeks.  During Spring Break, 2 of our friends came to visit us.  Their names are John ( father ) and Emelia ( daughter ) from Scotland.  We had a lot of fun.  They gave us each an R4 card which allows you to play almost any Nintendo DS game in the world.  They also brought cheese, sausage, and Nutella.  It made us very happy that they did that.  Since than I have had pasta, paratha pizza, and cheese and crackers.  We are really thankful because we are getting a bit tired of Indian food.  With John, Emelia, Mom, Dad, and Isaac, I went to a beach by someone's house near Allapuhza.  We had a great time swimming, finding small crabs, and making sand forts.  On my birthday ( April 7th ) I got: Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, 3 Goosebumps books, and a tiger stuffed animal named Nosey because of his big nose.  My birthday was great because we had a party with our Indian friends.  Mom made Chocolate-Peppermint cake.  The peppermint was in layers under the chocolate.  With John and Emelia I went to the hill station Munnar for a day.  It was only me because Mom and Dad wanted me to get the experience.  Munnar is in Kerala.  Munnar is known for its coffee and tea.  It was cold there and I had to wear a sweater.  There were a lot of tea plantations and coffee and eucalyptus trees.  It was nice to get away from Mom, Dad, and Isaac. It was a 4 hour drive from our house to Munnar.  It was a long trip.  After Munnar, John went for an elephant ride.  I went on the elephant only for a picture. I felt weird on the elephant because I was on a snorting animal.  The elephant was not entirely grey, instead it had some pink spots on it.  Sitting on it felt like a big pillow under me. The last place we went to was a tiger reserve; didn't see any tigers because they come out later in the night.  I did see ducks and a wild boar. I was a bit disappointed that I did not see tigers.  John and Emelia stayed with us until the 13th of April.  They left yesterday.
