Today we went to Bioparc, a zoo that holds African animals (and ONLY African animals). We went, got pictures near a gorilla statue, and went to see animals from Madagascar . The first animal was a yellow-billed stork and a flock of flamingos. After that there were lemurs. We crossed into the Equatorial forest and saw gorillas, chimps...

My Dad rented a huge Mercedes van so that we (Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, Dad, Evan and me) could fit in, and we drove to Valencia. The road trip was fun as we drove through many beautiful places. We went inside into our new place and loved it! There were two balconies, one which went from Dad and Mom’s room to my room to the guest room...
Today I woke up to see Grandma and Grandpa sleeping next to me. I woke them up, said hello and we all had breakfast. I was so, so happy they arrived!!! Then, Mom, Dad and Evan woke up and we went to show my grandparents Madrid. We went to Palacio Real de Madrid first. They really liked it and we actually saw the king and queen’...
We went to Museo Nacional Del Prado next. It has a lot of paintings from artist such as Titian (Tiziano), Diego Velázquez, Francisco de Goya, Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino (usually known as Raffaello, Raffaello Urbino or Raphael), Peter Paul Rubens and El Greco. We went to the main rooms first and saw some young people trying to repl...
We decided to go to museums after the journey to Cáceres, Lisbon and Porto, so first we picked Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Spain’s national museum of 20th-century art. When you come the entrance, you see a sign that looks like this: and a thing (i don’t know what it is supposed to be) that looks like ...
We came to Porto and fell asleep because we came at 11 o’clock pm. When we woke up we got tickets onto a train car (a car that looks like a train) that also gave us a tour of the Real Companhia Velha, a famous winery, and we also got tickets for a boat cruise to look at the 6 bridges (2 of which are designed by Gustav Eiffel). ...
Well, the ride from Cáceres was (pretty) long (it seriously was pretty) and when we came to Lisbon, it was dark and we needed to eat dinner already. We found a restaurant and Evan and I had these macaroni in soup and with shrimp and meat. It was good. The next day we went to the Church of Santa Engrácia. It is also known as the Pa...
Well, we were planning to go to Lisbon, Portugal, from the very start of our journey this year. But, to break up a 6-hour long trip from Madrid, we decided to stop in Cáceres for the night. Cáceres is a medieval town that is close to the border of Spain. Oh, and we discovered that the old town was built entirely from rock. We ev...
Today we went to a place other than Madrid. You already probably guessed it. Wait, what did you just say a second ago? Oh, yes, it’s Toledo! And the way we got there was by a train that went I don’t know how fast. Fine, it went faster than I have ever been in my life on the ground (I think it goes about 120 mph). The trai...
Today we went to Procession, a religious parade that is part of the Easter celebration. The parade is famous because of the floats that are carried by people. The floats are extremely heavy. The people need to take rests now and then and there are a lot of people that are ready to switch with the people who need a rest. There are two...
