europe8th of April was probably one of those days in 20 kids lives that they will never forget, as we all set off for Europe! After 36 hours with stop over’s in Hong Kong and Helsinki we finally reached Berlin Airport tired although newly invigorated and pumped for the excursion. In Berlin we visited some of the Nazi concentration camps, the site of the 1936 Olympic Games and perhaps the most highly anticipated, The Berlin Wall. ‘Public Apologies’ on the tour bus from those who were late then became the norm and continued throughout the entirety of the trip which kept everyone in high spirits.

I had to get home. I already had a plan brewing and I thought it to be pretty good. The following morning I decided to start my search in South of Chicago because so many people had known Boom Boom there. As I was walking down my old street I met Penny Roberts who was one of my old high school classmates.

I was very glad that I was going on this trip to get out of the USA and going to a different country and getting to know new places. Throughout this essay I would talk about taking a trip with my parents, that I always wanted to see one of the seven wonders of the world, and how this vacation change my life.

Guatemala is recognized as the center of the Mayan world or the land of enteral spring.
Reader Response for 'The Fourth of July by Aundre Lorde' By April Kobel My initial thought when I began to read The Fourth of July by Aundre Lorde went to the memory of my first road trip to Washington D.C. with my family which consists of myself, my brother and my father. It was aound my year of fifth grade. My brother and I rode while my father drove from where we lived in Chicago with my Grandmother to a campground near Washinton D.C. where we would stay during our visit there. I enjoyed the road trip because my father had planned a few stops along the way of activities and places we can enjoy.
