My Adventure

I had been to Angel Island twelve years ago, but I couldn't remember much about it. Last Thursday my class took a field trip there, so I had a chance to go back to Angel Island and to take a ferry again.

That morning, we met in our class room. The teacher took a picture of us in front of school, then we walked to the Lake Merritt BART station. We each bought BART tickets and used them in the machines. We met a few classmates at BART station. The teacher took some pictures of us there. We we waited for the BART train and got on.

It was not too long before we arrived in San Francisco. We walked from the Embarcadero to pier 41. It was a long . . . distance. Everybody was excited. We had a lot of energy. We followed the teacher. He stopped at a bakery to buy a loaf of bread. He shared just a tiny piece of bread with me. He is a cheap teacher.

It took us not so long to walk to pier 41. We hung around there for over 15 minutes and we bought the ferry tickets. We accidently cheated two tickets from the young man who sold the ferry tickets. We used that money to give to the docent. Our teacher said, " We made money."

We got on the ferry. We just followed the teacher. The teacher was wild and so were we. We went up to the top deck of the ferry. It was extremely cold, but everybody was excited. We talked. We laughed. We changed the money from buying the tickets. We took pictures. We were very very happy on the ferry. We were indeed wild!

Finally, we got to Angel Island. Many of us brought cameras. Each took pictures of each other. Then we began to climb up around 143 stairs. We stopped at one point to hear the park docent talk about the history of Angel Island. It was not interesting to hear because he is a very very slo.........w man.

We started to climb up the Mount Livermore mountain. We stopped at one point to take pictures. It is a nice view. We saw the San Francisco bridge. We saw skycrapers. That is a real picture which I have never seen before.

We continued to climb up to the top of mountain. Although, everyone was very tired, but eventually, we had arrived to the point. We had our lunch on there. While we were eating lunch, we were talking. We enjoyed eating many kinds of foods that we had brought and we shared each other.

Then, time was up. Everybody had to climb down from the mountain. One of the groups got lost. We had to hurry to climb up again. We swerved to other way to going down. If not we would stay there for overnight because that was the last ferry. Luckily, we saw the teacher. He was happy and relaxed to eat food. He was a bad leader right?

We all of us chatted and shared some foods again. Then we going down to the Angel Island and took the ferry back to San Francisco. We said good bye to classmates who wanted to take the BART home.

Then, we half of us followed the teacher to go to the "Trieste caffe." It took us a long .......way to walk there to had a cappuccino. It's kind of strange of the coffee shop with colorful tile-top tables. There were many classic pictures on the wall. The teacher took order for us because we were over exhausted already. We enjoyed the cuppuccino. We cheered cups each other. We talked and relaxed.

Soon after, we went back to the ferry. We bought tickets to get back to Oakland. On the ferry I saw the sunset among the ocean. It is a poetic view when I looked out from the ferry.

I will never forget my adventure because it was wild and it stayed on me a lot of tiredness.
