Camping Trip

You won't believe it! I went camping! Every year grade five goes on a camping trip to the Dana nature reserve. Dana is a village in the south of Jordan that is four hours away from were I live in Amman (the capital of Jordan). On Thursday I woke up super excited but at the same time nervous (since me and my class were going to be camping there in tents). I went to school ready with my sleeping bag, clothes, and packed lunch and went onto the bus to start my journey.
