No Turning Away
“Please fasten your seatbelts because we are about to start taxing for take-off,” said the attendant. Going from one country to another for breaks and school quarters is always fun because I can see many things. I love watching mountains and lakes flying past as I make the descend. Flying to different countries helps put more knowledge in my life than if I had just stayed in the United States. My three favorite countries are United States, South Africa, and Congo.
My first favorite country is the United States. While there, I have been given huge, red strawberries. In the Colorado mountains, it is ideal for going mountain biking. In the winter, it almost snows many days. Last, I just like to shoot guns without being harassed.
The second country I favor is South Africa. Getting up early to go on an early ride in the biggest game park is exciting. There are really enjoyable and exciting amusement parks where I can ride on a crazy fast rollercoaster or go on a log ride. Going shopping in the biggest mall in Africa is delightful, because it has so many different things to view. Walking in the mountains and breathing in the fresh air makes me feel like I am in heaven.
Finally , the Democratic Republic of Congo is my last favorite. Having privacy in walled in compounds is pleasant if I am having a party. Eating the many exotic fruits is a treat. The people there are very friendly and wave back whenever I wave. Driving out of town is fun on weekends instead of just staying home.
I am very blessed because I have gone to all these countries. I am always for seeing new things when I travel. United States, South Africa, and Congo all have nice airports, nice people, and beautiful landscapes. No one can turn me away from these countries.
