     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.

                               Peru

        Today was my first day in Peru with my family and we got here late at night so we stayed overnight in a hotel. The next morning, we got up really early to go get in line for the Inca trail, the line took FOREVER! It wasn't hot at all because were here in mid August, the dry season, so waiting in the line wasn't bad. Finally, we got to go up, we were some of the last few to get to go. They only let 500 people on a day so they can keep the rocks from getting worn out. It was beautiful and boy, it was worth every penny!

       The next day, we got up and went to tour the Amazon Forest, there however its hot and Humid almost all the time! There were lots of rivers and beautiful animals! The animals all had vibrant colors and the trees, they were all so big! we saw an alligator and a baby monkey eating a banana, it was SO cute!

       The day before we left, we went to Cuzco, Inca's capital, not a lot of people skip going to Cuzco because of it many fascinating features. It is so beautiful with it's old, traditional cobblestone streets and the temples there. 

All in all, Peru was a very fun, beautiful, and breath taking (especially the Inca trail) adventure and I'm sad to head home, even though many other adventures await, I'm, sure this one will always be the most memorable!

PERU

 

 

 

 

 

             During spring break I went to Peru. First I went zip lining in the conpies in Mancara and Cuzco. It  was a lot of fun. It was pretty hot there and the ride was really long. When we got to Peru we went to Piura. We unpacked and then went zip lining. Autumn my sister screamed when the guide let go of her. It was blast, after that we hoped on a plane to take us to the Cabo Blanco beach.

            When we aravied it was almost eleven. We stayed in these little huts that were on the beach. In the morning somebody came out and taught all of us to surf. The guide told us that surfing has been practiced for over a two thousand years, he also told us that if you come in the winter that the surfing would be just as good. When we all managed to get up on the board we all went to the hut to get something  to eat. After that we went surfing again until it was dark.

 

 

 

          We left the huts three days after we had surfing lessons. We were traveling to Lunabuano to go kayaking in the mountains. My mom and dad had gone kayaking before just not in the mountains. They said it depends on balance. WE got going and my sister fell into the water. It was pretty funny, it was nice and warm on that day. At some point in school we learned about Peru in world civ. and read that kayaks were a mode of transportation in the old days. When we were done with that we went back to meridian so that me and my sister could finish out school. 

THE END

                           When I went to Chile I went to visit many places, first I went to lake District and we saw many things like big boats, lots of animals and many kinds of plants. People were wearing funny things like a poncho colorful shirts and dresses. And had many types of food like fish, meat. potatoes. There were different types of people there to from other countries.



                     Next, we went to the Atacama Desert there were many big mountains and it was very hot and dry and had some very big lakes. The people there often wore big hats or something to shield the sun from there face and eyes. While I was there I went through my water in about an hour. And they often ate coyotes, llamas and also used the llamas to get milk.



                     Finally, we went to Patagonia there were very big mountains and lakes and many different types of plants and animals such as cougars, ostriches and coyotes, they wore many different types of clothes and traditional clothes for special occasions. They ate fish, meats and many different foods.
 


                     So if you need a place to go on vacation I suggest going to Chile as you can see above they have many attractions.
