Hello Andrea,
We first looked for the price in internet, and we found the perfect offert to go to Grand Canyon without spending too much money.
We traveled by train, and the journey was comfortable. During the journey we could have a coffe and sleep a lot. We arrived after 34 long hours, and we went to the national park lodge.
During these days we did a lot of activities: hike the Canyon on our own, etc.....
With love.

A tip to the Grand Canyon in our summer holidays
We are Pablo and Fabio.
We went to Colorado Canyon last summer. The total budget for the trip was $3,100. We had a good time and we did a lot of activities during twelve days.
We took a bus during about 38 hours and we stayed in a camping at the National Park of Grand Canyon for 5 nights and are spending $220 on accomodations.
We enjoyed exploring GC Village, going on a 5 day rafting trip and other minor things. We also took a day to rest the all activities.

Hi Andrea,
We are Andrés and Noelia from the Grand Canyon!
We are in the last day of our Summer holidays. This is wonderful and we have had a lot of things here. We planed our trip long time ago because we had 8 days to travel and we had a budget about $3000. We traveled by plane to the Grand Canyon and it took us about 12 hours to arrived here. We was very tired when we arrived but we made a lot of things. e.g we camped in the park for 6 days because it was very cheap, we took an helicopter and took some photos while we was flying over the Grand canyon, we went on jeep for two days and more things...
Well, we haven´t enough time to write you so when we will arrive there we will show you some phots and tell you everything we have had.
Kisses!!

Holidays of Aida and María
Hello,We are Aida and María.
Last summer we went to the Grand Canyon for 8 days. We travelled by bus and the trip took about 38 hours, it was the worst part of the journey!!
We did a lot of activities like going on an airplane tour of the Canyon, we could see fantastic sights and we took this amazing photograph! But the most exciting activity was the rafting along the Colorado River for 3 days.
We hope to come back next summer with more friends because we had a very nice holidays.
See you.

VERÓNICA AND CARMEN:
Dear teacher,
This summer we went for vacacions to The Gran Canyon.We stayed there for 7 days,but 2 of the days we were flying.
When we arrived to our economy hotel it wasn´t so bad.The food was excellent and we could choose different foods of many places of the world.
The next day we were hiking on our own during 2 days,but the second day,Veronica broke her hand.Seen that we couldn´t do or see anything by ourselfs,we decided to pay more and have trips with other people.
The 4-5 day we went to explored the village of The Grand Canyon.
The last day in The Grand Canyon we decided to go on a half day jeep tour,where we had much fun.
And 1 day to returned by plane.
Best wishes,Veronica and Carmen.

Holiday in the Grand Canyon
Hello¡¡¡
We are Sergio and Tamara, writing with Andrea's account, so all the terrible mistakes that the text will have, they are ours.
We decided to go to the Grand Canyon together in the Summer for ten days.
First of all, we travelled by bus, spending three awful days in the travel, and the first thing that we did when we arrived, was rest for one day in an Economy Hotel, where we stayed all the holiday (seven nigths).
The rest of the days we did a lot of things with a little budget; things like exploring GC Village for 2 days, going on a 1 day guided hike, going on a half day plane tour and going on a half day helicopter tour.
We are exausted now but it was a great experience, but I would like to raft in the river.
Sergio Castro y Tamara González.

Trip to Grand Canyon
In Spring we went to the Grand Canyon for 12 days. We had 3000$ to spend and we kept 64$. We took a bus from Flagstaff (we spent one day and a half in the journey) and we stayed at an economy hotel for 7 nights. For the first day we rested and later we hiked the Grand Canyon on our own for two days. After that we were rafting on the Colorado river for three days and at least we´re still alive. It was very excited!
On the sixth day we took a helicopter travel to watch the beautiful pictures. During the travel we saw a lot of strange animals.
Finally, we had a guided hike to learn a lot of things about the Grand Canyon.
We enjoy it so much!

Trip to Colorado Grand Canyon
How we had 12 days for holidays in Spring we dediced go to the Grand Canyon. We had saved only $2200 for the trip. We spent $586 and 3 days on bus to go and come back, we arrived exhausted!!!. We stayed in a confortable and beautiful national park lodge for 8 nights and we spent only $352 on accomodations.
During our station there we did a lot of interesting things:
we contracted a guided hike for $125 per person, it was a little expensive, but was interesting!
We explored the Grand Canyon by different ways (on foot, by jeep, on mule, by plane and by helicopter ). We visited twice the GC Villague, where we bought souvenirs for friends and familiars.
It was a great holidays!!

My holidays
We went to Gran Canyon in Arizona. We rent a car for nine days to travel along the gran canyon.
We stayed in a beautiful place called "The cheapest hotel in the country", a very economy hotel near the Canyon. The first two days we hiked the canyon on our own. It was very interesting because there were a lot of beautiful views there. We took a lot of photos. Then we went rafting for three days. The experience was amazing and a bit dangerous because the river going very fast. Then we went on a plane to see a panoramic of the canyon on a half day, then we had a guided hike. It was a great time

AMAZING FACTS
AMAZING FACTS
The other day I was surfing the net and I came across a susprising piece of news that I would like to share with you.
As you know, children today start behaving as adults at an earlier age, something that I completely disagree with, but anyway, what do you think about getting married at the age of 6 and 7? You might think I'm kidding, but I'm not.
Below you have the news. Go through it and write a comment on it. What is your opinion?
Kids' African Adventure
Three German children looking to escape the winter weather set off on a trip to Africa, but they only made it as far as their local train station, police said.
The adventurous trio, fed up with the cold temperatures, planned to ring in the new year under the African sun. And that's not all -- they also intended to celebrate a wedding, police spokesman Holger Jureczko said.
Six-year-old Mika and seven-year-old Anna-Lena, it turns out, "are very much in love and decided to get married in Africa where it is warm," he said. They took Anna-Lena's five-year-old sister along with them to act as a witness.
They got the idea from Mika's tales of his recent holiday in Italy as their families celebrated together on New Year's Eve. He assured the two girls that Africa would be even warmer, Jureczko said.
The next morning, while their parents slept, the children set off from the suburbs of Hanover, clutching cases packed with all the essentials needed for their trip: sunglasses, food, and swimsuits.
They boarded a tram to the central train station and were waiting for a train to take them to the airport when they were stopped by police.
Two officers managed to convince the kids that it would be hard to get to Africa with no money and no plane ticket. Instead, they got a decidedly less romantic tour of the police headquarters before being handed over to their parents.

GOOD LUCK IN THE EXAMS
Horseshoes are considered a good luck charm in many cultures. The shape, fabrication, placement, and manner of sourcing are all important. A common tradition is that if a horseshoe is hung on a door with the two ends pointing up then good luck will occur. However, if the two ends point downwards then bad luck will occur.One reputed origin of the tradition of lucky horseshoes is the story of Saint Dunstan and the Devil. Dunstan, who became the Archbishop of Canterbury in AD 959, was a blacksmith by trade. The story relates that he once nailed a horseshoe to the Devil's hoof when he was asked to reshoe the Devil's hoof. This caused the Devil great pain, and Dunstan only agreed to remove the shoe and release the Devil after the Devil promised never to enter a place where a horseshoe is hung over the door.
