My Wonderful Experience

My Wonderful Experience

Last month, I was absent from school for about 10 days because I went to the United States, to a very particular one: Florida. I was craving to go to Disney since I was very little, but I stopped caring about that a while ago. And that desire to meet Mickey Mouse were replaced by wishes to visit a more "grown-up-ey" city, like New York City or Chicago or San Francisco. Anyway, we decided to go to Florida because it was cheaper and it was my sister's fifteen birthday present, and she wanted to go to Disneyworld, and so we went.

It was an extraordinary experience. Getting aboard a plane for the first time, watching El Salvador at night from the skies, reaching Miami City from the coast and seeing millions of tiny yellow streetlights kilometers below me, watching those ant-sized tiny cars cruising the streets, the skyscrapers getting bigger and bigger as we got closer and closer to the ground. It was like magic, and it was only the first day!

Miami is a big city with a diversified population, mostly latin-americans. You don't really need to know how to speak English if you go to Miami, because everybody speaks Spanish. 

After Miami, we went north, to Orlando, where Disneyworld's at. We went from park to park, every day for 5 days. We had tons of fun. We met Shrek, Scooby Doo, Mike and Sully, Phineas and Ferb, even Dora the Explorer. 

I think this trip was something I would like to experience over and over again, because it was exceptional and opened my eyes to a lot of things. I would like to see that kind of cultural and economic development in my country, guess it would be hard to achieve, but not impossible. And that, was my wonderful experience.
