On the seventh day of our trip, we decided to let Vlad decide what we should do. He insisted that we visit the Costa Rica Country Club in Escazu, so we did. When we first got there, it was beautiful. There was a swimming pool, a golf course, and many other things to do. We decided to play golf first, so we all picked out the color of our golf ball. Bennie chose blue, Vlad chose red, I chose orange, Kerri chose green, and Hannah chose purple. As we went to the first hole, we had to decide the order. Vlad said he wanted to go first to show us how to play, because he was a professional. We all doubted that, but we gave him a chance. As Vlad walked up and got his ball ready, he got into a stance that made all of us laugh. He said, "That's the stance of a winner", but we didn't believe him. As he took a swing, we couldn't believe what happened. Vlad's golf ball hit another person's golf cart, and it broke the wind shield! We all laughed and told him that he was a professional. Vlad had to go and talk to the people about it. Unfortunately, the cart belonged to the manager of the whole country club, so he kicked us out of the golf course. Luckily, we could go visit other places in the club, but so much for golfing.
We decided that we needed to get some exercise, so we went swimming. The girls went into the hot tub while the guys went down the waterslide about forty times. Hannah, Kerri and I decided to swim some laps in the pool, because everybody had left except the lifeguard. As we were swimming, Bennie came up behind us and did a cannon-ball into the pool. The whole pool looked like the ocean on a stormy day, and Hannah almost drowned. We never trusted Bennie again in the pool.
We only had about an hour before the country club closed, so we decided to play racquetball. We split into teams. It was Bennie and I verses Vlad, Hannah, and Kerri. Bennie and I made a plan to let me do the running, because Bennie almost passed out while running one lap around the track. It was a close game, but Vlad's team won. Bennie and I said that it was because they had three people on their team, but we knew that they were just better than us. Everyone was tired so we took a taxi back to the hotel and took showers. We ate dinner and then went to sleep to get ready for tomorrow's exciting day!
