Dream Trip

Greetings from Morocco!

Dear Emma G,

Greetings from Morocco! Morocco is was such beautiful place with many wonderful stop and sites to visit. My first stop is at Todra Gorge for a climbing adventure. There are about 400 different climbing routes to explore there. Next I went to Meknes, a city in northern Morocco. While in Meknes I learned that Meknes is the third imperial city and sometimes it is the most overlooked. The last place I visited was Volubilis, a Roman city in Morocco. Volubilis is Roman ruins but it is also decorated with beautiful mosaics and colorful tiles. It was a breathtaking stop. Overall I had such a great time in Morocco.

Greetings from London!

Dear Laurel,

Greetings from London! London has been an amazing stop so far. My days have been slammed pack with things to do. My first stop was at the London Eye for a ride around the giant Ferris wheel. The London Eye is 443 feet tall and the wheel has a diameter of 394 feet. It is the largest Ferris wheel in Europe an the most popular tourist attraction in the United Kingdom. My second was at the Tower of London, a historic castle on the north bank of the River Thames. While exploring the tower I learned that it’s actually name is not the Tower of London, but it’s full official name is His Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress the Tower of London. My last stop in London was Big Ben, a chiming clock. The tower was finished in 1858 and is the third-tallest free-standing tower. I had a great time in London!

Greetings from Greece

Dear Emma C,

Greetings from Greece! I loved it there so much! My first stop was the Delphi Theatre. The ancient theatre was built in the 4th century BC and can seat 5,000 spectators. My second stop was Meteora, one of the largest and most important complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries in Greece . While visiting the site I learned that Meteora means suspended in the air or in the heavens above in Greek. My final stop in Greece was Santorini, an island in the southern Aegean Sea. Here I went shopping and to the beach. I had a wonderful time in Greece and wish I had more time to explore.

Greetings from France!

Dear Emma Z,

Greetings from France! I love France so much! It’s one of my most favorite stops. The first place I visited in France is the Palace of Versailles, a royal castle. When I toured the castle I found out that the castle 2,300 rooms, 2,153 windows, and 67 staircases, it was really cool. The next place I went was the Arc de Triomphe, one of the most famous monuments in Paris. The arch was build in 1806 right after the victory at Austerlitz by Emperor Napoleon. It was really pretty at night. The last and best place I visited was the Eiffel Tower. From the ground to the first floor is over 300 steps so I walked a lot of steps when I visited it, however I stopped for a bite to eat because there are restaurants on the first and second floor. Overall I had a great time in France!
