MY FIRST TRIP TO EUROPE

When I was 12 years old in 1997, my mom took me for a trip to Europe and Israel.

 I was the happiest girl in the world when she told me that in a month I was travelling to another country. I felt like if I was going to live in another planet. I also remember that was my first time on a plane.

So, It came December 1997 and we traveled from Medellín to Bogotá and then from Bogotá to the world. We went to Germany and we visited cities such as Frankfurt, Berlin and Bavaria. After 8 days in Germany, we went to Austria, Switzerland and Italy. We visited the Sixtine Chapel in Vatican City. Then we traveled in a Gondola to the Capri Island while a gentleman sang “Oh Sole Mio”. Then we came back to Rome and then we flew to Tel Aviv Israel. After a month of traveling, I was in Holy Land with my mom visiting Jerusalem.

This was an almost two month trip, where I met cities and beatiful places such as castles, parks and also awesome people. This trip changed my life and I am sure I will do it again someday.
