IGUAZÚ FALLS...!!!

Iguazú Falls are waterfalls of the Iguazu River located in the border of Brazilian State of Paraná and the Argentine province of Misiones. It is divided in the upper and lower Iguazú. Some of the falls are up to 82 meters. You can visit this falls either from the Brazilian side or from the argentine side. The Argentine side has most of the falls, and here to get to the "GARGANTA DEL DIABLO FALL" you need to have a 1 kilometre walk, but also here in the Argentine side, you can get the train to some stops. Iguazú falls are wider than the Victoria Falls and the Niagara Falls because it splits into 270 discrete falls and large islands.
This past school year, I was in ballet, and while I was in class, the teachers told me that I was selected for the cultural interchange with Argentina. I was really happy. So in this summer, I went to Argentina for one month. In the middle of the month, like in the second week, we were supposed to go to a trip near the city where we were staying, but it had to be cancelled so we decided to go to the Iguazú Falls. The first thing that we noticed before going was that it was kind of expensive and that we didn't have enough money to go, but fortunately, we called to our parents and told them that we needed more money so they sent us more and it was worth it. So later, we all went to the province of Misiones. It was a 12 hours trip because we were in the province of Entre Ríos, but it didn't matter, so on that Thursday, in the night we started our trip. We arrived at 8 in the morning, and then took other bus to the Falls, and then we paid the tickets, entered and took the train. We were a big group because all my dance friends went too. When the train arrived to the first stop, we had to walk a lot!!!...After walking so much, we saw the first fall. It was called the GARGANTA DEL DIABLO and it was amazing!!...The first thing I thought when I saw it was: "WOW THANKS MOM AND DAD I CANT EVEN REALIZE THAT IM HERE!!!"...Since we had only one day to get to know all the falls, we tried to do everything kind of fast. We returned to the train stop and started to walk along, and while we were walking, we saw some little falls in the way until we arrived to other fall. There was a bridge, and we all decided to go to the bridge were you could get wet and take pictures. Later, we noticed that there were boat trips in the lower Iguazu so we took advantage of that and had one. Once we were in the boat, we took our shoes off and put away our cameras because we were told that we were going to get wet. The trip started and they took us under the falls. The water was so cold!!...Then when the trip finished, we changed our clothes, ate and continued walking in the upper Iguazú were we saw all the falls. At 5 we returned to the bus stop, and started our trip back to Concordia. It was the most amazing trip because I went with all my friends and it was a big experience, and also because I learned more about the nature and other country.

DAYTONA BEACH...

Daytona Beach is a city located in Florida, USA. This beach is really famous because here they have the NASCAR races and the international Speedway. It's also very famous because, it's a spring break destination for all the people. It has a humid subtropical climate, summers are hot, and winters are dry.
On my summer, I went to the United States to visit my family and for tourism, so when we returned from North Carolina, we stayed in Orlando because we had a trip to Disney. The next day, after our trip to Disney, we decided to relax, fortunately, some days before, we were told that Daytona Beach was one of the most beautiful beaches the had, so we decided to go to Daytona Beach. We took our bathing suit and started our trip to Daytona Beach. After 2 hours, we arrived and parked the car. Before getting to the beach, we decided to stop by to buy some ice creams. We continued walking and got to the beach, it was amazing..!!! The entire scenario was wonderful and I really liked it because I hadn't ever seen a beach so beautiful, not even in Galapagos. I'm not saying that our beaches are ugly; it's just that they are different from Daytona. Well, we were really excited and we wanted to go to the water, but first, we went to the bridge to take a look of the entire scenario and the beach. The water was so clear and pacific; I think I was in love of that beach. After that, we went to the water. The ocean was really peaceful and it was like being in a pool, it didn't have waves at all, just some little ones and not at all the times. I think this is why I liked this beach the most. Other thing I really liked was that the sand was clear too and it was kind of white. After spending so much time in the water, I decided to go out for a tan because it was really hot and the sun was big and nice. So I went out, but unfortunately, I noticed that the tide was getting high, so I took advantage and returned to the water before it got higher. After that my parent told me that it was time to eat, so we ate and then returned to the car and drove near the beach to get to know the city a little bit more. We saw all the buildings and the streets, the bridges it had and then after the exhausting day, we returned to Orlando.
