Not New Zealand... Nope. SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA!

Welcome to Sydney, Australia
G'Day Family,
Well goodness! I love traveling the world! I wish I could put into words how lovely it is here in Sydney. I don't have much to say but WOW! I learned a few things though! This city is home to the famous Sydney Opera House, which consists of five halls including a large concert hall along with opera and drama theatres. Also, the people there offered me Vegemite. I was at first confused. But, vegemite is a very popular sandwich spread. A Vegemite sandwich is equivalent to a peanut putter and jelly sandwich in the United States. It tasted horrible, it is salty and very bitter, but growing up with something like that you probably can't tell. In Australia the average low temperature in June, July, and August is about 8.7°C(47°F) and average high 17°C(62°F), which again like bogota, is NOTHING like temperatures back home. But, I think that should wrap things up here in Sydney. Bye. Where should I go next? Greenland... China...India... Hmmmmm? How about Switzerland!

Vamos al Bogotá

Saludos de Bogotá Colombia
"Salutations from Bogota, Colombia"
Dear Familia,
HOLA! No, not really, Hey! How's everyone doing at home? Good? I hope so. I am having a wonderful time here in south America. Yes, i fly fast, Europe to south America...go me. Well, I am in another capital city, Bogota, Colombia. It is most beautiful here. They have an estimated population of about 8,244,980 people. But, out of those many people, here if you don't own your own car you either have money to take a cab, walk, or even ride a bike on one of the many cycle paths they have. The climate there isn't wide-ranged like home their yearly average high is 18°C (65°F) and yearly average low is 7°C (45°F). Not much more to say here but it's gorgeous and Adios, Bye. Can't wait to go to Sydney next!

Welcome to Berlin

Guten Tag von Berlin Deutschland
"Greetings from Berlin, Germany"
Dear Family,
Hey! I am here visiting Berlin. A gorgeous city located in the fabulous European country, Germany! Did you know Berlin holds 3.5 million people, while all of Germany consists of about 82,797,408.... Wow! That is a lot of people! So, i was here and saw the Tower of Berlin. This tower is around 368 meters high. WOAH MAN, inside there is an observation platform and rotating restaurant! C'mon, that's pretty awesome! Also,when the sun shines on the Fernsehturm's (TV Tower) tiled stainless steel dome, the reflection looks like a cross. That's pretty sweet, a cross, hmmmm what else did I see? Oh Yes, the Berlin Wall, the border between east and west Berlin is opened every day. Half a million people cross the border from one part of the city to the other. Well... I think that's enough for now. Tschüss, I mean bye! I can't wait for my trip to Bogota, Colombia.
