We visit Peru every three years to go visit and spend time with family. Last year we were able to go to the Paracas Islands in Peru. These islands are filled with different species of birds, penguins, and seals. We went on a small boat to the islands and it was such an amazing experience. In the image I took you can see the birds and a seal on a large rock that was part of the island. I have been to Lima, Ica, Sucre, and Nazca. I have seen many beautiful things in Peru. Last year I was able to see the lines of Nazca. These lines look like normal roads when on the ground, but from the air they form images. Some form in to monkeys and birds. It was the coolest thing ever. Peru has such a unique culture and traditions and I love learning about them. Everytime I go to Peru I learn something completely new. The food is Peru is the best! Peru's most known dish is ceviche. It consists of raw fish seasoned with lemon juice. I hope that on our next trip to Peru we can go to Machu Picchu.
I went to Spain for the first time when I was twelve. What made this trip different from the others was the fact that I went to Spain alone. I was nervous at first but once I arrived at Spain my aunt was there to take me in. I stayed in Spain for three weeks. We went to Madrid, Calpe, and Benidore. In Madrid I was able to go to the Santiago-Bernabeu Stadium. This was the home stadium of my favorite soccer team, Real Madrid. It was the best experience to go in and see where all the best players played. The beaches in Calpe were incredible and the sand was so clean and soft. There are very big waves in the beaches and it was a lot of fun. I played a lot with my cousins in Spain and became very close with them. I ate so much good food. During this trip I became closer with my aunt and family in Spain.
My family and I went to Niagara falls during summer vacation two years ago. We went with a large group with all of our family. It was so much fun driving up and joking around with cousins in the car. We first looked at Niagara falls in New York, we got to go through some trails and go wet a lot. We went on a boat and got so close to the water falls, it was incredible. The next day we crossed a bridge to Canada and walked around. We went zip lining across the water. At first I was very scared but once I saw my cousins do it I was not longer scared but excited. In Canada we went through tunnels that were made to go under and behind the falls. Niagara Falls is such a beautiful place and I hope I can go there again.
