An Unforgettable Journey

Now my final blog it's going to talk to you about an incredible experience I just can't forget. Maybe someone else can describe this journey I made as something normal, but I really enjoyed it. Now, I hope you enjoy reading it.

Well, it was ending November in 2008. Me and my family decided, as usual, to go in vacations to Boston, New York, Pennsylvania, and the Niagara Falls. This would be one of the longest trips I had done in my life. Of course in some places we took flights, but we also traveled hours in the car. In this trip we reached Boston first. When we get there it was a nice weather, I love the cold air so it was awsome. We went to a lot of places, but the place I loved the most it was the Fenway Park. Baseball has had a broad impact on popular culture, both in the United States and elsewhere. This was one of the most popular stadiums in the United States, probably the one with the bigger history. When we get there we saw a videoclip where all the history was gathered together. This team has passed for so many difficult things, but now it is one of the best teams. The thing that impressed me more was reaching the field, getting into the pitcher base in the middle of the stadium and closing my eyes just imagining thousands of fans looking at you, just wating for the last out. It was unbelievable. Another huge detail was "the green monster". I don't know if you know about this thirty-six foot, two-inch high left field wall at Fenway Park, but it is historical and unique in the sport. When I saw it with my own eyes I got shocked because of its size!

Well days later I reached New York City, The Big Apple, The City That Never Sleeps, The Capital of the World, I don't know how you call it, but I can say it is my favorite place in the world. It is a awsome city full of people everywhere, a lot of popularity, lots of celebrities and more. There I went also to the Yankees Stadium, it was huge, but the thing that impressed me more it was Central Park. Imagine a park in which you take more than one day walking it, full of flora, but you can also see movies getting recorded there!

After that it wasn't over. We hit the road and went to Pennsylvania. We just spend one night were so the only thing I remember is being on a italian restaurant watching the snow falling outside, this was one of the first times I saw snow. It was a incredible feeling. The day after, we reached Niagara Falls. The place in general it wasn't the best, but when you see those huge water falls and the beautiful rainbows forming below, you forget about everything. It was a unforgettable moment when I was below one of the water falls, feeling the freezing water in my face. This was the moment that shock my life. It was just amazing watching in the night the water falls illuminated and the snow falling lightly.

At the end we returned to New York, ate a hot dog and returned to Guatemala with a big smile on our faces. This was an unforgettable journey.
