Miami

Finally I'm in miami! And exactly in miami beach, the trump international hotel. This is an amazing hotel to stay at, it is right in front of the beach and has about 3 pools! Tonight was my last night in the hotel unfortunately... But today I got to see the friend I told you guys about last time! It was great she came to my hotel and we had so much fun! The down side though is that I got really tanned, and school starts after Tomorrow. Anyways me and my friend ate burger and sushi (yes they go perfect together) and just if you are wondering it was delicious! Also, yesterday I saw my friend that live in key biscayne. It took me hours to get there because the gps was crazy. Instead of taking us trough I-95 it took uss trough downtown Miami, at least we got to see a little bit more of the city. Then after the ever lasting trip we went directly to the beach, we had to jump some walls because she forgot her key to get in. And then we were going to eat frozen yogurt but my parents picked me up because she was going to watch dream girls.

New York

Wow, the big apple is absolutely incredible! I mean first I though it was going to be full of traffic and the streets loaded with people and violence. But it had almost no traffic, the streets were very secure and clean. All my friends told me they wouldn't like to live at New York and that I had to go visit it to see what they meant. But I would live there right now if I could. I was thinking about going to university there, but I have so much more time to think about that still, so I'm not going to worry about it at the moment. My favorite place was central park. It was absolutely beautiful. It was also great to see that a big city still has a gigantic park. For those who haven't been there, Central park is right on the middle of Manhattan. The park also has a lake where people can rent a boat. It is a great place to take pictures and rest for a while. Near the boat house there is a restaurant, I'm not sure what its exact name is but it is beautifull. Tje restaurant faces the lake and the food they serve is verry good. I recommended strongly. I really recomend you guys that haven't yet visited New York to do so! And the ones that have, to go again!

Twilight

You might be thinking this is really not related to my topic and that I am being a bit random, but it is part of my English grade. Moving on, probably all of you have heard of the very successful saga twilight. If you haven’t read the book make sure to read it because I really enjoyed, and just if you are wondering it is way more different then the movie. The story is about a girl named Bella who moves to Forks with her dad. Bella seems to catch the attention of all the boys in her new school, except her science partner attention; Edward Cullen. And some days after, Edward seemed to have disappeared. But when he comes back they seem to build a much stronger relationship. Bella then suffers from an accident when she is almost hit by a car, but she is inexplicably saved by Edward. Bella curiously starts to make some researches about Edward. By gathering some information Bella finds out Edward is a vampire who drinks animal blood, and later on Edwards admits he is a vampire, and that’s where everything begins. I personally liked the book better than the movie because the book gave a lot of important detail that the movie didn’t tell us at all. But in the other hand I thought the book was a bit too long which made the story tedious. But eighter way be sure all of you guys find out the end of the story!
  

Airport

Ok, I'm sure the worst part of this trip is going to be waiting in the airports. Especially in the Caracas airport, here there is nothing to eat! Everything is closed and there are absolutely no products in duty free! Therefore there is nothing to do! And well my parents decided to come in simply three hours before our flight. But oh well at least English saved me this time! My options for what to eat right now vary a lot, I could eat things such as; a MacDonald happy meal that costs 30 dollars or a burger king kids meal which costs 27 dollars. So if I had to choose one, I'd pick nothing because I don't enjoy fast food that much. I just discovered that about me though, I mean the friezes are good but the burgers are really bad. Ok, maybe they’re not HORIBLE but they just don't have the same taste as good spaghetti has or a meat and stuff. No offense to any of the junk food lovers out there. I think my opinion changed since we saw the movie "super-size me" in wellness. Just how he felt really made me think about junk food a whole other way. And sincerely the quality of fast food places has changed enormously these days. Before the burger was hot and smelled good and     was perfectly made. Yummy, just remembering it makes me feel so hungry! Well I better go try to eat something now. Ill is sure to tell you guys how New York was on Wednesday!

Traveling

October break just started at my school! And I am extremely excited not only for the fact I don't have school or homework (except this one) but also because I'm going to Miami and New York! We leave this Saturday the 16th to New York, and then arrive at Miami the Wednesday the 20th. And finally, come back home the 24th. Yes the big apple, first time I'm going to go there, but probably not the last. My mother, my dad and I are traveling together. Sadly my brother couldn't come because he is in university in Brazil. In New York, we planned to watch two musicals; Marry Poppins and Billy Eliot. I've heard many good compliments about both of the Broadway productions; such as about actors, sets, songs and plot. Anyways, in Miami is going to be all about shopping, the beach, my friends and family (perfect combination). Friends is actually what I am most excited about because I am going to visit a friend who moved to Miami this year, one of the most exiting parts for me on this trip. Although, I'm probably also going to see some friends from my school because a lot of them have houses there. One of my friends lived there, so she bought a house in Miami and has still has it today. She lives in key Biscayne which is a really nice area but far away from the hotel I am staying at, but we are still planning on seeing each other. Over all, this is going to be a really nice trip with my family, and I’ll be sure to update you guys with my thoughts and experiences from this trip.
