Hallo



Hallo boys! Well...I'm here again, I'm healthy, I'm fine, I'm happy...

Travelling was a great experience. I have never had travelled to a foreign country, so it was really exciting! I could use my English and believe...it was wonderful! I talked to Egypcian, Greek and Israelits salesmans, I talked to Jewish tourists, I went to the Al-Khalili market in Cairo and bought things...and I got excellente prices by talking in English!

I also had problems with food in Israel...cause they use so much spices...

I hated travelling for 11 hours from São Paulo to Roma (and from Roma to São Paulo) 'cause Alitalia airplanes are really small, the chairs are uncomfortable and I couldn't sleep, oh gosh! At least the food was really tasty, yummy!

Athens is very beautiful. It's a nice city, although the Greek people aren't very polite...I visited three islands: Poros, Hydra and Aegina. I'd like to go back to Hydra some day. We alsto went to ancient Corinto, but it was so hot that day!

I saw the Pyramids! Queops, Chephren and Mycerinus. Huge buildings, but the worst thing are the men that want to make you buy the things that they want to sell, even if you don't want to buy anything! They are agressive, and we felt scared (I felt so).

Israel...Eilat is a beautiful blace, and I bought presents to my sister and my boyfriend there: an Adidas bag and a Nike t-shirt. There are lots of stores with very known marks there.

Jerusalem made me cry...I felt really exciting when I saw that city for the first time, and I can't explain why. Maybe because I heard about Jerusalem since I was I child and at that time...I was there!

We visited the Getsemani Garden, the Tomb Garden...very important places to Christian people. And we also visited Ancient Jerusalem, that have 4 towns: Muslim, Christian, Jewish and Armenian. The Lamentation Wall is a very sad place...

I had great and not so great times by travelling. I mean...it's wonderful to go there. But it's much more wonderful to go back to home! :)

I'll publish more pictures here soon ;)

See you! :P
