Dear, Aryeh
Last year in June I went to the united states, to visit my family. I went to Miami, Orlando and Tamp. This trip I did with my father, my mother, my sister, my brother and my grandmother.
In Miami we saw one of the circus solei, we spent three weeks. We stay on my cousin's house. My sister and my brother went to a camp and they broke a part of the park, they ate pasta and juice in the camp. They start bored with the food and they start brought they own snak.
Then we went to Tampa first and then to Orlando. In Tampa we visit a park named Lego Land, it start raining so we didn't have a great day. We slept one day in Tampa and then we drove off to Orlando.
In Orlando we spent five days we went to parks. The climate was good, it rain like two days and the other three days were very sunny days.
This was my last vacation. Enjoy

Dear Carlos.
This December I had the best vacations ever, I went to California for 20 days, we stayed at my mother's cousin's house in Los Angeles for a week. While we stayed there we went to most of the usual parks: Disneyland, Universal studios and Madame tousaud wax museum. We also went to Hollywood and to Venice beach. When we arrived earlier than we expected, my cousins and I played call of duty black ops 2 in the xbox. Then we took a flight to Las Vegas and stayed there for four days in the hotel Excalibur, it's a castle-like hotel. In Las Vegas we walked like crazy and visited a lot of hotels: Caesars palace, the Venetian, Luxor, circus circus, Paris, New York New York ( where they have an awesome roller coaster), and ours. We saw a water show near the Caesars palace and the second day we went to the treasure island hotel to watch a show of cirque du soleil, the show was called mistére, it was amazing, there was a really funny clown and cool acrobats. Then we came back to California and stayed at my cousin's house for new year celebration. Next day we went to Mision Viejo, Orange County to my great-aunt's house and went shopping most of the days. The last days we went to sea world and the midway museum. Then we came back to Colombia in an 8 hour flight (so exhausting), and now I'm here writing this letter to you, I hope you answer soon, hugs.

It is an nacional park at Africa.In there you can see lions , hippos , crocodiles , cheetas , etc. I went there to se those animals because i really love animals , but there is one kind especific i went to watch , it is the african python , it is a beautifull snake , long and strong.
It was a really good exprience I saw group of lions eating , I ride an elephant , and in a play soccer cheetas. Also I live a time with the people of there , they are very nice people , they have really strange food and a strange religion but they are really good people . The only bad thing is that they live with fear , because in the nights the lions enter in the village an ate their cows and in some times they have ate people. Well , this was my expirience and i want to know yours , hope to see you soon. Bye

My wonderful Holidays
On my wonderful I holidays I went to Venezuela to visit my family, every single holidays I visit my family, but I also hung out with my old friends from school, the ones that I haven't seen in a long time so it was a little bit different.
Christmas was exactly like past year, I didn't expect to get anything, and thats what happened, for second year in a row I didn't get anything, I wasn't disappointed but it would be nice to get something.
I took my xbox with me to Venezuela, I played online with Vidal, Aryeh, Dario and Cristian, it was a nice idea to because it kept me busy for many hours but my gold membership caudated like 2 weeks after I started playing with it, so after that I had the most boring two weeks of my life, I don't have any cousins of my age but I have some around my age, some of fourteen and another one of sixteen, an another two that have eighteen and nineteen.
The holidays in Venezuela were like I expected.

Dear Joel,
This vacations I had lots of fun. On December 20 I went to Panama. I stayed at my grandparents house, which is really close to my cousins' house. On the 21th, we went to my cousins' apartment, and it was really fun because we hadn't seen in almost a year. We played Play Station 3 and soccer. I also spent time with my pregnant aunt, which is having her baby in a month or so. From Panama city we all went to Decameron Villas which is 3 hours away from the city. We stayed there for a whole week. We had 2 villas. In the first one stayed all the kids and my grandparents, and the rest of adults stayed in the other house. Our house was the best, it had 4 rooms and a backyard with pool, bbq and a lot of grass so we could play soccer. I got to drive like 4 times the golf cart, and it was awesome. In conclusion, this vacations were really good and fun.

Dear nixxon
This vacations were one of the best of my life.
In vacations I didn't do something big, but I pass really good.The first part of this break I spend in barranquilla with my friends I did little things like going to de mall, to the pool and kind of. One day I went to mariangela's house we spend the afternoon talking and taking photos for instagram, in the night we went to buenavista to ate pop corn with capucchino, you know that I love that combination. In christmas I went to my aunt's house to celebrate that special day, there were a part of my family we ate the christmas dinner and then talked.
The second part of my vacations stared in new year for receive this important moment I went to Riohacha, guajira to be with my family, it was the first time that was the the majority of family they came from a lot of parts we were all together and it was special, I stayed in Riohacha 13 days, I love that place, everyday I ate chuzo and then went to walk around with my friends, one day we wanted to do a bonfire in the beach but in the last minute we said that it wasn't the day to do a bonfire. The time that I spend there was cool.
That was all I did in vacations that was what I wanted to tell you.
Lots of love,
Lumara

Dear, Jose
I stayed at barranquilla most of the time, I went to the pool, to arboleda's house, I played xbox with jose, el rodri, sosa and aryeh.
Then I went to the puerto colombia's bay, and I went on yacht to an island cave that connect to el dorado, the gold city, then I woke up and I was on Japan at Tokyo meeting Japanese people.
Then I was at the thermal water hotel eating sea food, ramen and Udon.
Then I went to the old Japan, it seemed to be like a ninja world, I saw a dojo, and lots of samurai on that village, one samurai told me "konichiha ohio gossaimasu", and I said to him konichiha too he told me if I wanted to learn how to be a samurai, I. Told him yes, I want to be a samurai, I learned how to be a samurai, then I went to kyoto and continued learning about that country, then I returned to colombia to continue school.

In my holidays I stayed in barranquilla with my family, alot of friends stayed in quilla, so I was going out almost everyday, with my friends, all tho the first week I went to sta.Marta and I stayed in the zuana, it was very comfortable, in there it was some people who offered parachute skydiving, I asked if I could jump, and they said I could so I went to they're office to get some gear and get some lessons, when we jumped it felt amazing I felt I was free up in the air. After sta.Marta when I arrived barranquilla I started going out with friends and going for rides around barranquilla, that was almost the only thing I did in the vacations, and some nights playing xbox with some friends. (126)
Something I liked alot about the vacations was being with my friend cause we make jokes and laugh alot. They where good vacations.

Dear Valentina,
How are you? I'm really good. I’m writting to you because I thought you can be interested where I went this summer holidays. I stayed here in Barranquilla, but i spent time with my family, and friends.
A few days ago, after i left for vacations, my brother came from Mexico, because he is studying, working and living there. I missed him so much, because he left his home 3 years ago, and i didn't see him even in my birthday. My parents didn't want to do something big for christmas, so we went out for dinner, and then went home because some friends were waiting for us. I opened my gifts with my family, and then went to bed, but my parents and my brother stayed there talking until 6 am. The next day we went to the beach, to get some color and to spend the day because we didn't have anything more exciting to do. Most of the time in my vacations i spent it with my friends. But the only thing we did was stay in my home and talk about a lot of things. 86. I passed New Year, with my whole family, and with most of my friends. My summer wasn't exciting but i loved to spent time with the people i love. And finally, i hope that you enjoyed your vacations, best wishes for you and your family.
Lots of love,
Mariajose Solano.

Dear Sharon
I want to tell you all about my holidays and I would love to hear about yours. As you know, my birthday was on december 15, I made a small party with my friends and family at my house, it was really good, we ate lasagna that my mom did and I think that everybody liked it, with all the money that I got for my birthday, with the help of my parents I bought an iPhone 5.
I spend christmas with my family and a friend of the family, we ate turkey and the we opened the presents, Alejandro got a guitar and a remote control car and I got a watch and clothes.
In my vacations i worked at my family's shop because I wanted to get some money to buy some clothes.
I went to Cartagena for New Year's eve, I spent it with my mom's family and my dad's brother, but when we got there we found a really big surprise, my cousins from Chile were there, I was really happy because I hadn't seen them in one year and I also met my cousin Camila from Cartagena so we had a really good time. We stayed in Cartagena for 1 week, we went to the beach, to the pool and then we went back to Barranquilla. Unfortunately three days later after arriving to barranquilla my cousins had to go back to Chile because they had to go to school and one week later (December 14) I had to, it was hard to let holidays back, I had a great time.
