TRAVELING

One of my other passions is traveling. My mom has always liked traveling and meeting new places, so I think that made me curious and wanting to always meet new places. When I was little I went to live to the states for about 1 year and a half. I remember that I would just talk in spanish in my kindergarten and all the kids would look at me like if I was a freak. It was pretty hard for me. After being a year or 6 months on that kindergarten, I changed to another one. In this new kindergarten I made a lot of more friends, and my best friend was Hanna. A year after being in the US I moved back to CR. Two years later, I went with my mom, little brother and grandma to my uncle’s college graduation in Spain. When we arrived we went to my uncles apartment. It was so messy that you could easily notice he is my uncle. After his graduation I really wanted to go to London, so we all went to England and my grandma went to the Netherlands. I dont remember really well ALL the things that we did, but I really remember the double-decker buses and Legoland!! Legoland is an amusement park, but all made of LEGOOO!!! It was really cool. My brother was only 6v months old, so my mom had to stay with him but I went on all the rides with my uncle. I really enjoy new adventures and the feeling of adrenalin. Of all the rides I went the one I remember the most and not by looking at the pictures, was the dragon roller coaster. After being like a week in London, my mom wanted to visit Switzerland because when she was 13 years old she lived in Switzerland for 2 years. I did like Switzerland, but it wasn’t as exciting as London. We went to where my mom used to live, and the “mom” still lived there.  There was this really nice park, and my brother tried his first chocolate! I don’t quite remember much, but I remember I was REEAAALLLLYYY happy to come back home. After that I didn’t travel that much. When I was 7 I went with my grandma and two cousins to Cancun. It was a nice trip because I became closer to my cousins, and now we have a really strong relationship. Then in 2002 I went to Washington D.C. It was really  nice because I went to my old kindergarten and my teacher still teached there! We also went to the old pizza place where you used to eat THE best pizzas ever, but it was close =(. I think that the saddest thing was when I saw Hanna. I was only 8 years old, but I still had mixed emotions when I saw her. It was so cool seeing how she changed and ow her personality was. After that day I never saw her again, but I wont ever forget that day. Last year I traveled a lot!! In January 07 I went with 2 cousins of mine, my mom and my brother. It was amazing. We first went to vermont to ski/snowboard. It was really cool when we arrived because my cousins and my brother had never seen snow, so you could see the bright/spark in their eyes when they saw the snow. The last time that I had seen snow was when I was 3 so it was also a very special feeling. One really cool thing was that I spent my birthday there, so I had a fun time. After we went to Orlando, DISNNEEYY!! When I went on the Hollywood Tower of Terror, I was so scared!! My cousin was also scared that when she was holding  my mom’s hand she “digged” her nails into my mom’s hand and made her bleed. Also in island’s of adventures we went on the hulk roller coaster 12 times in a row!!!!!!! It was a great experience. In February I went to again to Cancun. It was a nice trip, but the first one I liked it so much that I had really big expectations for this one, so I didn’t enjoy it that much. March…..AASCA IN PANAMA!!!! I was so excited when I got chosen that I just couldn’t believe I was going to my first international soccer tournament. In August before entering school, I went for 4 days to San Andres, Colombia. It was really nice, because first I had never been to Colombia, or to such a pretty island. Also something that made it really nice was that I was able  to see one of my best friends. January of 2008 I went again to Vermont.It was really nice and all, but I didn’t go with my cousins so it was as fun as last years. Instead of going to Orlando we went to Boston and NYC!!!!! I looked like a freak jumping up and down when I arrived in times square. It was THE best thing!! I also went to broadway to see The Phantom of the Opera. It was so cool. My last trip was on March when I went to El Salvador to the AASCA Tournament. On vacations I am going to go for 17 days to Paris, France. I am so exited because I am going with my grandma and my other two cousins. We are the only three girls in our family, so it is going to be nice that we are not surrounded by boys! I am also looking forward to getting to know my cousins way better and we can get to be friends not only because we are cousins. The thing I love about traveling is that every time you get in the plain you are going to go explore something new, and at the end you might be sad that you are coming back but you are happy you are back home!!!
