March 16

     I waited, breathless, as I prepared to go in. I was just wearing a swimsuit, and, as I entered the water, what appeared to be a giant mechanical bubble. I had to go slowly and was weighed down by the "bubble". We (me and a bunch of other people also doing this) had to move along an iron rod placed there for this purpose. Some workers passed us things like dead coral. As we moved further along the rod, I noticed the purpose of a structure on the side. I knew ASL letter symbols and spelled SHIPWRECK to Mom, who had no idea what I was saying. We had our pictures taken after that to compile into an hour-long video. As I got on the boat, I thought how lucky I was to have a book to curl up with.
