Travel Journal-2012

          This new year's eve was great. My family and I spent it with some of our closest friends.
This year we did a "testamento" which is an Ecuadorian tradition where the old year leaves different things to each person, usually referring to something funny that has happened to that person that year. The person chosen to read it dresses up like and old man or woman.
           This year we also threw fireworks and me and my cousin ran around the block with suitcases, doing this supposedly makes you travel that year. After twelve o'clock we ate paella and danced.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!

Travel Journal-A traveler's life list

      
         This year I spent my Christmas at some family friends' house we are really close to them since my parents met them when they were like fourteen (they are like uncle and aunt). We also spent our Christmas with other family friends that are also like family to us. I think its cool how even though we are all from different countries/cultures  we've known each other so long we are technically family.
           We ate (a lot), talked, called our relatives to wish them a merry Christmas, wished each other a merry Christmas, and of course exchanged gifts. One of my mom's friends  gave me a book called 1,000 Places to See Before You Die, it has all the amazing places that you NEED to see from all around the world. I love to travel and this gift was perfect for me, I want to see everything on this book.

Merry Christmas Everyone !
