The magnificent museaums in Washington DC

Every weekend was the same: visiting one of the Smithsonian museaums... and I loved it!







 It's really shocking...

 I have mixed feelings with zoos.... I love going to one, but when I see the animals there it makes me so sad. The female orangutan threw up, and the male one ate it. that's love.

A Demonstration against the war.


Ageless Disney World


Of course I had to see Disney! I grew up with Snow-white, Cinderella, Beauty and thinking how my prince charming would look like. I’m still waiting…
While in the parking lot, I was thinking “yeah, I love Disney, but I'm a grown up know and they are all people in costumes, I should have gone somewhere else”
I gave the guy in the entrance my ticket, crossed the gates and was immediately amazed!!
So many colors, so many people: smiling babies, kids, teens who acted like kids, adults, old people in wheelchairs bieng happy and young again! It was really a magical place!
I was a kid again! I wanted a picture with Donald Duck and see Woody and Buzz! I wanted to see all the shows and live there forever!

San Francisco - L.A - Las Vegas

Lovely San Francisco
In summer my friends and I decided to travel.
I could't wait to see the famous bridge and when that happened I was amazed! 
It was like looking at a painting. the colours, the people the huge red bridge, the blue waters... it was a perfect combination.
After that we headed to Alcatraz (I had seen the movie The Rock so I had to visit it) It was scary and sad at the same time. The jail was in ruins....
Riding a cable car was such an experience! you can get dizzy, that's for sure! 


Starry Los Angeles
We got out from the bus and my Brazilian friend said “It’s like we are in Mexico” and it was true! Many, many Spanish speaking people. The walk of fame and the theater were the only attractions we knew from LA. 
On the streets were so many talented people waiting to be discovered! dancers, actors, jugglers. If you make it in L.A you make it anywhere.... 
theperfect way to finish the day? Venice Beach!

What happens in Vegas....
Vegas baby! We stayed in this so cool hostel with a swimming pool and a bathtub. The hostel had special activities every night. One night it was pool tournament, the next night pub crawling. It was awesome because I had never done those thiongs before! of course it was the first ever I had beer for brakfast, beer for lunch and beer for dinner...
