"The Field Trip at The Oviedo Marketplace" by Eva (Taiwan)

It was my first time playing in a scavenger hunt. This was last Wednesday with my classmates in the Art of Blogging class. We went to the Oviedo Marketplace and formed three groups to complete the assignments that Mr. Bushong gave. The group that finished first would get a package of chocolate for the reward. My team member was Viyan, who comes from Iran and is a friendly woman. We walked around the mall to find the answers to the directions on the sheet of paper. For example, directions were buying a gumball or taking a picture of a Christmas tree. We finished step by step, but eventually we could not find Julia and the wishing well, two directions on the lists. We checked the mall map to search for the well, but there was no sign of it. Finally, we asked a saleswoman in a store. When we went to the well, we saw Julia in the distance. We ran quickly to catch Julia for her initials on the sheet. Then we walked to the dining area and found the well, making a wish and throwing a coin into the water. Though we were the second group to finish, I enjoyed the entire process. This was a wonderful field trip because I had a new experience and made a new friend.
