A few summers ago, my friend Isabelle and I went on a trip to Spain. We were able to take a ferry over to Tangier in Morocco where we went to The Caves of Hercules. This is a partly man made and naturally made cave. In it there is an opening out to the ocean that looks like Africa backwards (in the picture). It was an amazing sight, you could see right out to the Atlantic Ocean and waves would come rushing into the whole. This was one of the most beautiful spots I have ever been to in my life, if you are ever able to go to Morocco this is a place you want to go see!

This past summer I went to India, where I did a lot of sightseeing, learned about India's history and saw a lot of family. Just going to a different country, and seeing what life is like there, really opened my eyes. Life there is just a totally different way of living. When I saw all of this, I really felt thankful for what I had. This is a picture of the Taj Mahal, which is one of the places I visited. When you look at it, you can really see how the structure has become less white, because of the pollution in the atmosphere. Now, volunteers are helping out to clean the river that lays next to the Taj Mahal, which is hurting the structure's foundation.
