                                                   Colombia               

       In Colombia I saw beautiful sights ate beautiful foods and had a beautiful time. I went to a fiesta and there were great people and dancers. It gave me good vibes and they had great food. Then I went to the best restaurant ever! I don't know what in the world it was called, but it had the best empanadas. These are all the beautiful things I got to see in Colombia.
       The Colombia fiestas are the best. They had the best dancers and the party was full of chill vibes. It was full of great bright colors like orange, red, blue, yellow, and green. I could not see anything but those colors. the roads were packed with people yelling and screaming. Big colorful vans were rolling through the streets with pretty girls and people singing songs I didn't know the words to. That is how the fiestas were like in Colombia.
       Another great thing in Colombia was food. The food was spicy and very good. The food was a lot like the food I eat at Costa Vida back at home. One new food that I had was empanadas. they were really good and wrapped up like a burrito. These are all the things I got to see in Colombia and it was a great time. Those are the beautiful sights, foods, and experience I got to see in Colombia.

Argentina


Last week I went to Argentina and it was great. The first thing I did was go to Buenos Aires. In Buenos Aires I went to the museum of latin American art of Buenos Aires. It was very beautiful. My favorite piece of art was the giant hand.


The second thing I did was go to the beach. They had these weird umbrella things to give you shade. My favorite part was the water. It was my favorite thing because it was so clear. It was the best beach ever.

The last thing I did was go to the Iguazu falls. Looking at the huge water fall made me feel really small. The mist from the falls was very cooling in the hot weather. The sound of the water crashing into more water was relaxing. Iguazu falls was the best part of the trip.

Peru
         I believe that Peru is a very beautiful country they have very many outdoor attractions.  Lima is the capital city of Peru.  How cool is it that how Lima was founded by Spanish colonial forces in 1535.  Lima is on the coast of Peru.  It is a historic site, Lima is involved with the cosmopolitan business. I am interested in the history the cosmopolitan business is when they are friends or partners with other countries.  Lima has a linking series of plaza's. Lima is a great place to take time and explore. 


       I found that Cusco is a very attractive city like Lima.  Yesterday, I learned that spanish conquistadors made Cusco come to an unfortunate end.  Cusco like Lima was the capital at one time in the 13th century. I found out that  Cusco is  "supported by 3000 years of age"!!  I loved Cusco and learning about its culture and history I find it very interesting that Cusco has so much history.  I would love to visit again while I am still in Peru. 


     The Inca Trail is a very popular attraction.  Only five hundred people are allowed to walk on the trail a day just to preserve the stones.   The trail is four days long and very beautiful I enjoyed walking on the Inca Trail.  I was so glad I was allowed to go on this trail.  Peru is awesome.

     This summer I went to Chile for a week. And the first place we went to was the Atacama desert. it was real dry, and super hot, the Atacama desert is the driest non-polar desert in the world. It is 1000 kilometers long, and it is on a plateau. Also it has a rocky terrain, so me and my family came home with lots of scrapes.
      Next, we went to the Easter island. It is located in the Pacific Ocean. We had to take a boat out to it. It is secured by Rapa National Park. It has 887 extant monuments. They are called moai. When we were done we took another boat back to shore.
     Then we went to Santiago. We went and ate there. it was lots of fun. We saw the metropolitan cathedral. It was very big. After walking around parts of the city we had to pack and get on a plane home.

                       The place I visited was Chile. I had a good time. I went scuba diving, had salsa lessons,  and went to Easter island.
     

                     As I was scuba diving, I saw dolphins, colorful fish, and a lot more. I got cut on the coral. Then a shark came swimming my way. It looked big for a second, but realized it was a lemon shark. I got away in time, but I swear I had a mini stroke.


                  The next day I went to a salsa lesson. The instructor had quick feet. I fell on my face at least twice, but I survived. everyone were clearly all experienced, because they all didn't stumble. not once. I learned nothing, but I had a good time.



                 When I went to Easter Island, there were huge heads lined up in a row. As I went on, I saw random scattered head. some were laying on their face, and others were on their back. when I went back to the hotel, I packed up. It was time for me to go home.

            Last month I went to Venezuela, I had a great time with my familia and we did some really big and fun stuff. The first really fun thing that we did was we went hiking in
Angel Falls. We were excursionismo for about cuatro hours and we had an amazing time.

When we were done we went to dinner as a family and had a great day. The next day my padres went to Margarita Island and us kids went to the palya and we all met up at the hotel at tres o'clock. After we went to the piscina and we had a great day with that as well.

It was out last day and we went to the
Sand Dunes, it wasn't as fresco as I thought it would be but, for our last day, it was a great day and vacation. When we were done we went to the hotel and we went to the beach all together because the kids said it was really fun. So after the beach we went to the aeropuerto and we made it back home. Our family had an amazing trip!

Last week I went to Brazil.  The weather was very nice and sunny! The first day I went to the beach at Ipanema in Rio de Janerio. The weather was perfect, it wasn't too hot or cold. The sand was white and soft. The water was sparkling and it was perfect to swim in. After an hour or two I decided to play volleyball on the beach I played for a hour then decided I was hungry so I left and went out to a restraunt. I ordered rice, beans, and corn. It was so good! After that I went back to the hotel.

 That next morning I woke up and went to the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio De Jeneiro.
 There were many stairs. The statue is so tall! It stands 125 feet! I was amazed how many people there were! It was so overwhelming. There were many Brazilian women who dressed with skirts, turbans, and a shawl, the men wore baggy pants, hats, ponchos, and boots. Then I left to go pack my things and I left for Brazil.

The next day I woke up and went on a boat ride through the Amazon. It was spectacular! I saw a pink dolphin, a sloth, and fish. Then the boat guide let me get off the boat and go explore the Amazon rainforest, which was beautiful! I saw some more sloth, monkeys, lizards, and a snake, which really freaked me out! Then I got back on the boat and rode to the dock and got off the boat. The next day I left back home to America. That was my experience in Brazil.
