Mis Vacaciones en la India

Hi all!
After our trip to LA, California, we went to India. Our flight trip was like this: first we went to Hong Kong and then we went to Singapore, where we went a 2 hour trip in to the city. Then we finally reached India. At Chennai airport we met thatha and Ganapathi mama. Achi, Santhi athai, Janani akka and Varshini were in at athai’s house. We stayed in their house for a week. I played with achi, Janani akka and Varshini. During our stay at Chennai, we went to the Merina beach and had dinner at a restaurant. After a week we went to our city, Coimbatore by train. After going to our home, we went to Lalita achi’s house and saw achi, thatha and Mani mama. We also saw Devi athai, Soori mama, Aparna and Aparna´s achi and thatha. Soori mama took me to a bookstore and bought a book to me. I selected a book on scientists and their mind blowing experimens. I have completed reading this book. It was interesting. After some days Shankar chitappa, Mini chiti and Mishal came on vacation. They live in Sharjah, UAE. Aparna, Mishal and me played a lot. One day while we were playing, Mishal told me that he will show me a magic. Then he pushed me and as a result my foot was sprained. I put on a bandage to cure it.
Then we celebrated Aparna´s birthday. Achi, thatha, Aparna´s achi, thatha, amma, appa, chitappa, chiti, Mishal and other Aparna´s friends were there for her birthday party. Aparna cut the cake and soori mama took us all to the restaurant for dinner. Also we all went to Residency and enjoyed. One day Lalitha achi did hairdressing to me with flowers. I saw two movies, Imsai Arasan 23rd Pulikesi and Something Something at Coimbatore. I liked both movies. Then, achi, thatha, amma, appa, chitappa, chiti, Mishal and me went on tour. We went to Sri Rangam-Ranganadar temple, Samayapuram-Mariamman, Tanjore- Bragatheshwarar Temple-Sivan, Chidambaram-Natarajar Temple and Gangai Konda Cholapuram-Sivan temple. This trip was for 2 days, & then we returned to Coimbatore.
After some days we returned to Chennai. Achi, thatha, Soori mama, Devi athai and Aparna came by plane. We went by train. We all went to Mahabalipuram. There we saw chariots of rock and then we went to the beach. The next day we went to see the Shore Temple. They were beautiful. At 2:00 o’clock Devi athai, Soori mama, Aparna, thatha, amma and appa returned to Coimbatore. At Chennai, achi, chitappa and me went to a movie called Thimiru. Later chitappa took Janani akka, Varshini and myself to Krish, a Hindi movie. I liked Krish more than the other. Also chitappa took me to dentist to put clip to my upper teeth. Some days later appa, thatha and amma came back. It was the day we had to leave. They prepared everything and at night we went to the airport. Then we had the same long journey back to Mexico.
I enjoyed my stay in India with all, but when we returned to Mexico, I felt very sad.

LA Trip

Hello
This summer, we went to India on vacation. But we stayed in Los Angeles for 5 days with Sunitha aunty and her family. Sunitha aunty is a close friend and classmate of amma during her college days. Nanda uncle (husband of Sunitha aunty) picked us from LA airport and took us to their home. I met Shivani and Santosh (daughter and son of Sunitha aunty). First day I was playing with Shivani and Santosh. On the second day we went to Universal Studio. It was fantastic. All the rides and games and shows were full of excitement. If you like scary thing the best one is Van Helsing, it will be scary but it will be fun. You have to be brave to go on the rides, but I suggest that you should go in the rides. In one you will see many dinosaurs in the way you will stop in a place a dinosaur will attack you, while you see the dinosaur you will fall down 84 feet down. It will be scary at first but at last it would be super. It’s called ``Jurassic Park Adventure´´. The Mummy Ride is a roller coaster with genial special effects with air. Like this there are many. I loved it. The third day we went to Malibu and LA beach with Sunitha aunty, Nanda uncle, Shivani and Santhosh along with Nambi uncle and Vidya aunty. Nambi uncle was senior to amma and Sunitha aunty and also friend. Sunitha aunty and Vidya aunty prepared food and brought it to the beach. We all ate there in LA beach. Myself, Shivani and Santosh played castles in sand. Later Nambi uncle and Vidya aunty took us to Hollywood Blvd. We took photos with stars in the walk of fame and saw the Kodak Theater. Then we went with Vidya aunty and Nambi uncle and stayed in their house. Next day we went to Disney land, California. It was a nice experience. Near Disney land there is another theme park named California Adventure. We just went to Disney. There are games for the whole family; it’s not just for kids. The most beautiful thing was the Sleeping Beauty castle. In Florida Disney land, there is the castle of Cinderella. Many people of Disney (who work in the park) are dressed like princess and prince, the characters of Disney stories. All the games are very good. In the morning and evening there is a wonderful and magical parade, in which you can find most of the Disney characters. In the night there is a show of fireworks for 45 minutes. They are first class. It is a very good park to go. You can’t finish seeing Disney in a day, you need more or less 4 days to see the whole park and see it nicely. There are 5 Disney land theme parks. They are in LA (California), Orlando (Florida), Tokyo (Japan), Paris (France) and Hong Kong (China). Nanda uncle dropped us at the airport for our journey to India.
It was a nice trip to Los Angeles, California

Last Summer Vacation

Hi!
Last year during summer, we went to the USA on vacation. Actually it was because appa went for training in Umesh mama’s lab. We started the journey on 10th July by bus from Saltillo. First we went to Nuevo Laredo; there we crossed the border by walking. In the immigration office of the USA, the officer there checked our passports and visa. After that we went to the Greyhound station, where we took the bus to Dallas, which passed through San Antonio (Texas). Till Dallas, there were many Mexicans in the bus but later there were more Afro-Americans and there were a few Mexicans. Then our bus to Nashville, took us through Little Rock (Arkansas) and Memphis. Appa said that ex-president Bill Clinton was a native of Little rock, Arkansas. From Nashville (Tennessee), we went to Cincinnati, Columbus (Ohio) and then we finally arrived Charleston (West Virginia). On our way till Cincinnati we were with a Mexican old man, who advised us that if we don’t go to the line first when we change the buses, we will miss our next bus. He helped us very much. We were received by Umesh mama at Charleston. We stayed at Umesh mama´s house. Every day appa, Umesh mama and Padma aunty will go to the lab, meanwhile amma, Rishi and myself stayed at home. Rishi and myself would be fighting for the TV remote control, I wanted to see Disney Channel, while Rishi wanted to see Cartoon Network. In the night I would read Harry Potter books or other book. The 30th of august Umesh mama & Padma aunty took us on a trip to Niagara Falls. On the way, first we went to a Krishna temple at Moundsville (WV). Then we went to Pittsburg, and visited Venkateswara temple. In both temples we ate good food. We stayed in a hotel near Buffalo. Next day we went to Niagara Falls which was very beautiful. We went for a ride in the boat (Maid of the mist), which took us near the falls. Then in the Cave of the wind trip, we went down and below the falls and enjoyed the view, as we could see lot of rainbows in the falling water. We were in Charleston till 5th of August. On fifth morning, Umesh mama drove us to Knoxville, Tennessee, where we were received by Siva mama, Manju aunty & Nanda. Now they live in Calgary, Canada. We were there for five days. I was playing with Nanda and Manju aunty. They took us to Atlanta (Georgia), where we went to an Indian restaurant to have our lunch (buffet). Amma bought some groceries. Later, they took us to Rock City, where we saw many kinds of plants and rocks and a beautiful artificial water fall. We also went to Ruby Falls. The special nature of this falls is that it is falling with in the mountain. We have to go inside the mountain as well as below the earth by walk to see this falls. Again, we returned to Saltillo by bus. It was a nice trip.
